What are you getting at? byshane4 months ago (1 votes) (report abuse) (reply)
Yeah, that's disturbing. As stated in your second link, mercury "enters the environment almost wholly as atmospheric emissions from industrial processes, primarily the burning of coal for electricity".

Using less electricity would seem to be a good idea, wouldn't you agree?
Raising Awareness bycwrite4 months ago (1 votes) (report abuse) (reply)
All these fluorescent bulbs
we'll be mandated to use will save emissions
but only if people dispose of them properly
and don't break them intentionally or by
accident. Mercury in them vaporizes in-
stantly, settles and winds up the same place
as the emissions. For those who get head-
aches from flourescent lights, they'll be
living in the dark alot.
Insight anyone? bycwrite4 months ago (1 votes) (report abuse) (reply)
Does anyone know if the death rate
has outpaced the birthrate in
Bozeman now. There seem to be
more obits than new babies when
you look at the weekly BDC obit list
-vs- the BDH virtual nursery photos.
Or are more babies being born
outside the hospital?
