Until Norwegian Chemist Norvald Fimreite found traces of mercury in fish taken from Lake St. Clair last spring, almost no one suspected that it could be one of the most dangerous water pollutants. Even some scientists assumed that mercury would sink to the bottom of lakes and rivers, pass harmlessly through fish, or kill a few fish without harming other organisms.
