IJC Calls for Improved Great Lakes Atmospheric Mercury Monitoring

<> International Joint Commission Calls for Improved Great Lakes Atmospheric Mercury Monitoring - IJC, concerned by the lack of sustained funding for the number of monitoring sites, is recommending in a new report that the Canadian and U.S. governments provide stable long-term funding to monitor atmospheric deposition of mercury in the Great Lakes region -- concerned that mercury concentrations in some Great Lakes fish in some locations are increasing or may increase in some fish species in the future due to significant increases in coal burning in Asia.
