520			_a"Nationwide, advisories about mercury contamination cover 500,000 miles of river, more than 12 million acres of lakes and much of the Atlantic coastline. Because of contaminated fish, 630,000 unborn children--nearly twice original estimates--are exposed to unsafe mercury levels each year, the federal Environmental Protection Agency said last month [Feb. 2004]. These children can suffer irreversible changes in the brain and nervous system." (THE RECORD) This article discusses the causes of mercury poisoning in fish, focusing on the waterways and lakes in New Jersey, and reveals the health problems associated with exposure to mercury.
