Mercury in the Bay - KQED QUEST

[howlingsandy]

there is NO fish safe to eat that lives in the bay..beyond Hg is high selenium and other crap from farm runoff upstream that is toxic.. catching salmon coming it is t the only semi -safe fish to eat if you don't have any kind of toxic burden ...most suppositories are meds inside of shark oil... loaded with Hg..tuna should be banned. if you have dental fillings of amalgams and eat anti-oxidant ALA it will drag it into your brain .coriander/cilantro;/yin choy and chlorella too...all those do it

[howlingsandy]

national academy of sciences and.. in fact - the estimate is conservative. Go study the kinetics of pharmacology and metals and chelation... the experiments with sheep and mice where brains were allowed to be biopsied, and don;t forget how many lying profiteers and agents with faux sites like "fishscam" bribe or worse to easily tweaked the somewhat sold out and connected FDA and even the CDC can be by those with the power to do that for various reasons none good ones

2:53 Bromine feels unloved :(

@DrRabbitz I was thinking the exact same thing...

[BIGMCBUFFLARGEHUGE]

there are bigger problems in the world than some mercury in fish

[howlingsandy]

there is NO benefit to even a small dose of metthyl or inorganic Hg. It is NOT in the waters so much from cinnabar but HERE coal burning DENTAL RUNOFF (each filling "amalgam" is 55% Hg and will pollute a 12 acre lake for a thousand years. All farmed fish OR and CA have it, National Board of Science says 60,000 babies in the USA are brain damaged each year from their mothers eating ONE can of (ANY - dont believe "fishscam" site coverup) tuna a week

@howlingsandy Hi, could you please site where you found your info? thanks. 60000 babies seems out of proportion from eating tuna.

i love playing with this stuff

[howlingsandy]

@airrune31 most did once but in Canada if one thermometer breaks a hazardous waste team is dispatched. YOU better go take a 24-hour urine fractionated porpyhrine test and hope is done right. there are 138 symptoms of Hg poisoning and many are considered diseases so cause is rarely considered.

1:40 sounds like good advice.

@MySiouxieQ LMFAO!!!!

Great video! But what I fear is now that SB 670 has passed. The free work of suction dredgers will stop and the levels will continue to rise. Miners of the past were not knowledgeable of the risks and repercussions. Suction dredges today remove this before it can become methyl mercury. I have removed plenty of mercury from rivers that are feeding into the SF Bay. Many of the present day dredgers have. "Dredging the hole bay would be unfeasible". Dredging the feeding waters is free.

excellent work!

Very important issue. Thanks for this!

From the AIR, FOOD to our WATERS. Theirs no safe place anymore.

Paracelsus, sometimes called the father of toxicology, wrote:

»All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose permits something not to be poisonous.«

That is to say, substances often considered toxic can be benign or beneficial in small doses, and conversely an ordinarily benign substance can be deadly if over-consumed. Even water can be deadly if overconsumed.

(From the Wikipedia page on Paracelsus.)
