www.werc.usgs.gov — Mercury is a contaminant of significant concern in waterbirds because it can accumulate to high concentrations in their tissues and cause deleterious effects such as impaired reproduction. Numerous studies and monitoring programs have evaluated concentrations of mercury in waterbird tissues as an index of risk to exposure. However, no single More...
