Does anyone have more information on the problem and what can be done about it? Are there groups already working on this locally? Hi Paul, Yes there are groups working in the region. Earth Action is working on PEI - we have the largest point source of mercury in the Maritimes, the incinerator in Charlottetown. The CCNB has been coordinating efforts between groups in the Atlantic and those in New England. Check this out: ------------------------------------------------------------- The Wisconsin Mercury SourceBook was written to help implement a new "Mercury Strategy": a new way of addressing toxics that is based on the development and implementation of comprehensive community mercury reduction plans that focus on the purposeful use of mercury. The SourceBook provides a seven step outline for drafting a reduction plan, and contains source identification materials for nineteen sectors of a community, including case studies, product alternatives, and action ideas for each sector. It is intended for use by anyone involved in drafting a reduction plan for mercury, including sewerage districts, community or trade associations, and government agencies. The Wisconsin Mercury SourceBook was prepared by The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Bureau of Watershed Management This document is available at http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/bns/hgsbook/ in Portable Document Files ONLY!
