“However, by far, most mercury in the atmosphere is human-caused..”

Sir that is patently absurd. The output from one vulcano (pinatubo, St Helens, etc) can exceed all human sources of mercury emissions for decades.

Good grief did you invent that sitting around the breakfast table or are you smoking the algore reefer.

Lurking,

Thanks for the correction. Apparently many scientists say that human-caused and natural sources are about equal, so I was wrong to say "by far." I must have been confused with another element, like cadmium, that is mostly generated by man. (Feel free to correct me on that, too.)

Where where have you seen this statement?
