Exercise 9

Search for mercury pollution and research the latest developments in studies of the harmful health effects of mercury ( Core Case Study ). Find an example of an effort to prevent or control mercury pollution and write a short report summarizing your findings. Try to find reports of two studies that reach different conclusions about how mercury should be regulated. Summarize the arguments for these conclusions on both sides. Based on what you have found, do you think that mercury pollution should be regulated more strictly in the state or country where you live? Explain your reasoning.
