The New York Times November 11, 2009 By The Associated Press
A federal study revealed that about half of the American lakes and reservoirs contain fish with a great amount of toxic metal mercury. The Environmental Protection Agency found mercury in all fish samples collected from 500 lakes from the years 2000-2003. The mercury found in this fish is harmful and could cause a lot of damage to the nervous system.
It's a shame how much mercury has been found in the lakes and resevoirs. The Environmental Protection Agency collected so many samples and hopefully all of these harmful fish get taken care of or thrown away because that could be deadly.
