Apparently its also why fish are high in mercury because mercury in burnt coal eventually finds its way to the ocean.

    There was a related article, that I found as one of the most hopeful and positives for the environment…..

    I don’t remember how long they said mercury remains in the food chain but what I got out of it was that global coal is peaking and likely to decline rapidly and mercury settles out of the food chain in decades so my children may eventually be able to eat tuna and other seafood without worrying about mercury!

    specifically tuna, its the bioaccumulation on the food web, the TUNA eats other animals that have mercury in it, that eats smaller animals that filter mercury, it piles up.
