Mercury Topical Study

Detailed investigations of mercury cycling and bioaccumulation have been initiated at the Hudson River near Newcomb, in New York's Adirondack Mountains, and the Neversink River near Claryville, in New York's Catskill region. These studies are part of a National mercury study that is currently conducting data collection in the Raritan River, in New Jersey, the Edisto River in South Carolina, and the Detroit River, in Michigan. These studies will build upon findings of studies that have been conducted in other geographic settings across the Nation.
