Mercury in the Wildlife!


                             Mercury in wildlife!

 Summary- The power plants in the north east are releasing large amounts of mercury into our wildlife. Scientists are saying that the mercury is in the mountain tops, ponds, lakes, and animals. It is coming from the power plants and making song birds and in fact children have effects from all this pollution. The reason mercury is coming from power plants is because the specific coal power plants are burning coal which releases natural mercury from the ground causing it to turn into a gaseous state making it drift hundreds of miles then dropping into its original liquid state making it drift into the wilderness.

Critique- It has gotten so bad that it is affecting humans which can cause problems to society.

Impact- Anything living
