Mercury in California's Dead Whales
A Navy science team found high mercury levels in 28 pilot whales that beached and died off the California coast. Autopsies showed up to 23.9 ppm in livers, well above the FDA fish safety limit of 0.5 ppm. Scientists say the mercury came from the whales’ diet, not poisoning, while mass beaching may reflect typical leader follow behavior under dangerous conditions.
