[TowerTalk] mercury in waterways

[Jim Spears]

The statement that most mercury found in the environment is the result of
people brushing teeth is not correct according to my research.  Rather it is
the product of fallout from the air, especially from coal burning power
plants according to the USGS and EPA.  This is somewhat off topic for this
reflector but a popular misconception.
