Air pollution’s devastating impact on children’s health
Every day around a staggering 93% of the world’s children under the age of 15 years breathes air that is so polluted it puts their health and development at serious risk. This is according to a new WHO report ‘Air pollution and child health: prescribing clean air’. Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of air pollution since they breathe more rapidly than adults. Which means they absorb more pollutants. Additionally, as they are still developing their brains and

Mysterious chemical found in dead cat’s brain reopens debate over mercury poisoning disaster
The city of Minamata, Japan, is dotted with monuments commemorating victims of an industrial mass poisoning decades ago. High in the hills, a small stone memorial honors other deaths—of cats sacrificed in secret to science. Now, after restudying the remains of one of those cats, a team of scientists is arguing, controversially, that the long-standing explanation for the tragedy is wrong.

Mercury (II) Binding Activity of Vegetable and Fruit Juices: Identifying Potential Detoxifying Juice
Artisanal gold mining is known to cause high levels of mercury (Hg) contamination to human populations, due mainly to many miners burning gold amalgams without the use of safety equipment and/or mercury capture systems. In Portovelo-Zaruma, Ecuador, there are more than 10,000 people directly involved in artisanal mining. As Hg vapour accumulates in the kidneys and brain, it is important to investigate potential agents that may be effective in helping to detoxify contaminated

Trading mercury
In 2012, the global trade in mercury reached a peak of US$210 million. Four thousand and forty tonnes of the element—used in everything from small-scale gold mining to compact fluorescent lamps—were being traded around the world, with companies in Europe and the United States making some of the largest shipments and profits. To demonstrate the scale, three years earlier trade equaled just $43 million. Alchemy Mining Group, Inc. ("AMGI") fueling; Alchemy Liquid Gold Coin Utili

UK Super Rock Star Robbie Williams 'almost died' from mercury poisoning over seafood habit
Robbie Williams has shared a fishy tale about his brush with death caused by a seafood diet. The Angels singer, 46, said that he’d been diagnosed with mercury poisoning thanks to a regime that had him eating fish and seafood twice a day.
