Logging done in the right manner could be a great asset to been back to normal. All foods contain mercury but not a great amount. Grazing cattle also pick up natural mercury which is then passed on to the con- sumer. This according to Mr. Sheehan is a natural occurrence and nothing to be alarmed about. Twenty-four per cent of mercury comes from combustible products such as wood or coal. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant are strongly urged not to consume fish which may have an ex- cessive amount of mercury. Ron Sheehan stated that it does not affect the male.

There is a certain amount of natural mercury pollution in the air and ground as well as water. In more recent times technology has brought it openly in front of the public. Grains were treated with mer- cury to control fungus and as a result of feeding pigs with this type of grains in Mexico many people became ill from the ef- Get your Royal Bank loan before you shop for your Car. cee ES at oe Ontario PRs RET Ree Ee Se ee 4 um i Ready-Mix Concrete (good Music All The 'Time Call aem FMidland-526-7961 5 We can help you drive a shrewd bargain.
