Clean Water Action says Maryland mercury ranks among worst
Clean Water Action released a 61 page report with EPA data claiming Maryland has one of the nation's highest mercury levels per square mile. The group opposes the Dickerson trash incinerator, saying it would add at least 1,000 pounds of mercury annually and urging tighter emission standards, decreased mercury use, nationwide fish testing, and citizen warning campaigns. Maryland tests fish from 23 watersheds every third year, with 1989 results pending, while Frederick and Montgomery County solid waste plans await state review.
