How else can mercury get into the air... Into our brains lungs organs... Fires Fuel Mercury Emissions.. University Of Michigan study.. Forest fires release more mercury into the atmosphere than previously recognized.. Also...

When the foliage dies, it falls to the forest floor and decomposes, and the mercury enters the soil... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/01/070109172159.htm
