Mercury released through sewage plants and storm sewers often contaminates the sediments of lakes and rivers on a local scale. However, most of the human-generated mercury that enters the aquatic system is deposited through the atmosphere in rain, snow or attached to small dust particles. Mercury also enters lakes directly from natural geologic sources. In lakes that have been created by hydro dams, very high levels of mercury are often found as a result of natural bacterial processes that become greatly accelerated by the flooding of land and decomposition of vegetation. Atmospheric emissions are a major concern with respect to the mercury entering the environment. Mercury released to the atmosphere — either directly or indirectly. | and s in May George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communicatioi CLIMATE CHANGE IN HEhAMERICAN mind Americans GlobaTWarming Beliefs BRIDGING SCIENCE SOCIETY YALE PROJECT ON CLIMATE CHANGE COMMUNICATION YALE PROJECT ON CLIMATE CHANGE COMMUNICATION George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication Climate Change in the American Mind Americans Global Warming Beliefs and Attitudes in May 2011 Interview dates April 23 2011 May 12 2011 Interviews 1 010 Adults 18 Margin of error - 3 percentage points at the 95 confidence level.
