What to you consider a large area. And to do any harm something would have to eat it. Just more untruths put out by the wackos on the left. It is the degree on contaminate that is in question here. The anti's always make things worse then they are.

Yes, something would have to eat the mercury, OR, something would have to eat someting else that is already contaminated with mercury. This is where the "food chain" that we all learned about in grade school comes into play. Mercury gets into plankton, which gets eaten by bugs or small fish, which get eaten by bigger fish, which get eaten by humans. Plus, you could have contamination of ground water, which would affect much more than fish in a lake.
