Article Synopsis
- This paper evaluates the effects of reducing mercury emissions from U.S. coal-fired power plants, using recent literature and epidemiological health studies on methylmercury.
- It focuses on national exposure levels, questioning the significance of local mercury deposition, and highlights uncertainty around safe mercury exposure levels due to other dietary contaminants.
- The findings suggest that reducing mercury emissions from these power plants alone may not lead to substantial public health improvements, as current U.S. exposure levels are already below established thresholds for adverse health effects.
