Children Project Monthly e-News - This e-newsletter is a
publication of the Learning Disabilities Association of Michigan's
Healthy Children Project (HCP). Its purpose is to select and summarize
the most pertinent, current information about environmental factors

Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Mercury Poisoning
Prevention Information - For the past several decades, Mercury
(Hg), has received increasing attention as a serious pollutant of
concern due to its toxic and bioaccumulative properties. In aquatic
systems mercury is often converted by bacteria to methylmercury (the
organic form of mercury) which can be magnified up the aquatic food
chain hundreds of thousands of times, posing a potential risk to
humans and wildlife that consume fish.
