Power plant emissions are responsible for 41 percent of the total MERCURY emitted by all known U.S. sources of pollution.

MERCURY is a toxic heavy metal, which when ingested, can cause serious neurological damage, particularly to developing fetuses, infants, and children.
The neurotoxin effects of MERCURY exposure are similar to the effects of lead toxicity in children and include delayed development and cognitive deficits, language difficulties, and problems with motor function, attention, and memory.
