...a recent study of federal data showed that the percentage of 
Americans with detectable levels of inorganic mercury in their blood 
increased eightfold between 2000 and 2004.

These are the same years that we see burgeoning levels of mercury being 
spewed into the atmosphere from industrializing areas of the world, 
particularly in China and other Asian countries.

The US Government has detected "mercury plumes" that carry the dangerous 
neurotoxin in great quantities across the Pacific and, within five days, 
found them hovering just offshore of San Diego, California. (See Map
