Can you explain why it is important that mercury be kept out of streams and waterways?
Mercury evaporates easily and travels great distances through the atmosphere. It is a nerve toxin which ends up in our lakes and rivers, where it accumulates in fish and other creatures. Humans may be at risk if they regularly eat mercury-contaminated fish, which is why it's important to keep it out of streams and waterways.
