Arising mostly out of industrial 
emissions, especially from burning coal fumes, mercury particles either conjoin with rain and snow to find way onto land towards water bodies or are ejected directly into deep waters by industrial houses. Into blue waters, they assume form of highly toxic methyl mercury which builds up into tissues of fishes and animals in high concentrations posing great health risk to regular consumers of contaminated fish. Exposed to developing foet uses, babies and children, mercury poisoning directly affects the nervous system, resulting in brain damage and learning disabilities. Agrees Classy D’Silva, a leading scientist at National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), Goa. But according to her, mercury emissions in the past few years have actually gone down due to the central pollution board tightening its noose around polluting industrial units. An effort is worth applause, save the dampener in the form of excessive mercury levels in groundwater sources discovered near the former Union Carbide factory in Bhopal in 2002.
