1/ 26 - Oceana Targets "Nasty 9" Chlorine Plants as Source of Mercury in Fish
Oceana announced today they are making chlorine plants one of their top three priority projects. They have identified their "Nasty Nine" -- the nine worst mercury emitting chlorine plants in the country. There are lots of ominous statistics around the industry. Chlorine plants were first created in 1894 and produced high levels of mercury emissions. New technology has cleaned up the industry, but these 9 plants continue to use the old procedures which are bad news. Oceana plans to put the squeeze on them.
