Toxic waste generated by U.S. industry jumped more than 25 percent in 2000,
according to data released on May 21, 2002 by the U.S. EPA.
The data, part of the federal Toxics Release Inventory, established by
Congress in 1986 as the nation's community right-to-know program, show about
38 billion pounds of toxic waste managed in 2000, with another 7.1 billion
pounds released directly to the air, land and water. Louisiana led the
nation in toxic waste generated, with more than nine billion pounds
generated.
Analysis by U.S. PIRG, a public interest advocacy organization, showed that
current Bush administration proposals to weaken environmental protections
would hinder progress toward reducing this toxic pollution and in some cases
would exacerbate the pollution. The group argued that billions of pounds of
toxic chemicals released show the problems with current law that make it
nearly impossible to remove harmful chemicals from the market.
Industries released 4.3 million pounds of mercury and mercury compounds to
the environment and generated 4.9 million pounds of mercury compounds in
toxic waste.
By comparison, a teaspoon of mercury deposited every year can contaminate a
20-acre lake to the point that fish are unsafe to eat. A 2001 report by U.S.
PIRG and the Environmental Working Group found that fish contamination is
already so high that eating fish exposes 1 in 4 pregnant women to levels of
mercury that could threaten a developing fetus.
Metal mining and utilities were identified as the nation's biggest
polluters, with 3.4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals released by mines,
nearly half of total chemical releases, and 1.2 billion pounds released by
the utilities and by mines.
The Toxics Release Inventory reflects only a fraction of the toxic hazards
in the environment. The program does not include releases from significant
pollution sources like oil wells, airports, and waste incinerators, nor does
it include significant sources of exposure to chemicals, such as chemicals
placed in products.
In addition, the TRI represents only a fraction of the chemicals on the
market. While there are approximately 80,000 chemicals on the market,
according to EPA and American Chemistry Council studies, gaps in toxics laws
mean that at least some of the data needed to perform a basic screen for
health and environmental effects were not publicly available for more than
90 percent of the chemicals.
U.S. PIRG is the national lobbying office for the state Public Interest
Research Groups. State PIRGs are non-profit, non-partisan public interest
advocacy groups.

Dr. Mercola's Comment:
Folks, mercury is extremely toxic and it only takes a few mg of mercury to
kill you. It is primarily released from the burning of coal to generate
electricity and there is more than enough flying around in the environment
to cause you serious damage. Consider this - there are 454,000 mg of mercury
in a pound and nearly 5 million pounds of mercury were released into the
environment in the US alone.
Bacteria and chemical reactions in lakes and wetlands change the mercury
into a much more toxic form known as methylmercury. Fish become contaminated
with methylmercury by eating food (plankton and smaller fish), which has
absorbed methylmercury.
As long as the fish continue to be exposed to mercury, mercury continually
builds up in fish's bodies. Fish that eat other fish become even more highly
contaminated.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Academy of
Sciences have determined that eating mercury-contaminated fish is the
primary route of exposure to mercury for most people. Some fish have less
mercury then others, but it has been my experience that nearly all fish are
contaminated with mercury. I have done thousands of hair mineral analysis on
patients and can confidently tell you this is true.
Patients who don't eat any fish are the only ones who have immeasurable
levels of mercury in their hair. So it is my strong recommendation to stop
eating all fish now, unless you are absolutely certain that it has been
tested in a laboratory and shown not to contain detectable levels of mercury
and other toxins.
I now know of only one safe source, Vital Choice, for one type of fish,
salmon. This is because my team and I recently did extensive testing on the
salmon from the company, Vital Choice, that sustainably harvests the salmon
from the interior of Alaska. This company contacted me after hearing of my
recommendation not to eat any fish at all, claiming that their fish --
because of the pristine waters they catch the salmon from -- were indeed
mercury- and other toxin-free. I was both surprised and delighted to find
that, indeed, the salmon was safe from mercury and other toxins -- as well
as utterly delicious -- and so I am offering the Vital Choice salmon through
this site.
If you enjoy the delicious taste and immense health benefits of some of the
world's finest salmon -- Alaskan wild red -- but you are concerned about the
mercury and other toxins now found in dangerous amounts in almost all fish,
then please consider trying the Alaskan wild red salmon from Vital Choice
that tested safe and is now available in our Web site store.
And again, I strongly urge you to avoid eating all other types of fish --
whether from the ocean, lake, rivers, streams or farm-raised -- unless you
are certain it has been lab tested and shown to be safe from mercury and
other toxins.
