David Lincoln is a geologist, environmental consultant, and author of a book called “Deep Horizons Exposed” who jumped off the corporate ladder and changed careers after he saw how Enron was being operated for the benefit of a select few. He and our host focus on the elevated cancer rates and health problems affecting the farming community of Tulare County, California, that appear to be the direct result of large amounts of stored toxic waste in that region.<\/p>\n

\nAccording to the EPA, as many as 1 in 6 American women of childbearing age have enough mercury in their system to put their babies at risk in the womb or through nursing.<\/p>\n

Mercury in Aquatic Ecosystems<\/a>
\nSource: USGS
\nMercury occurs naturally in the environment and cycles among the atmosphere, water, and sediments. Human activities such as coal burning power plants and waste incineration increase the amount of mercury cycling in the environment.<\/p>\n

\nMethylmercury is a type of mercury (“quicksilver”), a metal that is liquid at room temperature. Most compounds containing mercury are poisonous. Methylmercury poisoning has occurred after people have eaten meat from animals fed seed grain or fish from waters contaminated with methylmercury (such as Minamata Bay in Japan).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
