In a telephone interview with The Crimson, Ezzati said that “health problems seem to be geographically focused. Whites in the northern plains may have the same income level as whites in Appalachia, but they consistently fare better in terms of life expectancy.” According to the study, the “healthiest” states include California, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Washington, which have...

That is not a problem as long as the mercury stays put. But increasingly frequent droughts--a likely consequence of global warming--have led to increasingly frequent wildfires, causing wetlands to release centuries' worth of collected mercury in one toxic breath. "There's mercury that's been accumulating since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution," says ecosystems ecologist Merritt Turetsky of Michigan State University, who has been studying the problem...
