New research shows that the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere work to transform elemental mercury into oxidized mercury, which can easily be deposited into aquatic ecosystems and ultimately enter the food chain. Humans pump thousands of tons of vapor from mercury into the atmosphere each year, where it can remain suspended for long periods. Exposures to mercury can affect the human nervous system and harm the brain, heart, kidneys, lungs, and immune system.
