Maybe you should research the article and let us know if it is a serious

problem.

 . . . 

Ten times what?  What has Mr. Bopp seen?  What industrial areas?  I know of 

several where there is almost no detectable mercury in airborne particles.





This is a lovely example of distortion by generalization.  Maybe the mercury



found is a little, maybe it's a lot, but there is no way to tell from the 

article cited.
