Acid Rain Speeds Up the Production of the Methylmercury
The first ecosystem-scale experiment confirms that the sulfate in acid rain speeds up the production of
the methylmercury that bioaccumulates in fish. Researchers have published evidence that acid rain
triggers the production of methylmercury, the bioavailable and toxic form of mercury that can accumulate
in fish living downstream of freshwater wetlands and make them unsafe for human consumption. The
paper entitled Sulfate Addition Increases Methylmercury Production in an Experimental Wetland by Jeff
D. Jerimiason, et al, was published by American Chemical Society on their Environmental Science and
Technology Online
website on May 10, 2006. An expert in the field, Charles Driscoll of Syracuse University, states that "this
is exciting work" because the cause-and-effect relationship between sulfur and mercury deposition from
the atmosphere has been "demonstrated in the lab and in the field in small-scale experiments," but not in
a large-scale experiment before.
