Minnesota babies born with high mercury levels, report shows
From Chicago Tribune/The Associated Press (2/3/12):
One in 10 babies born along Minnesota's border with Lake Superior had high mercury levels in their blood, a state Health Department report found. Researchers noted that babies in Minnesota were more likely to have unhealthy levels of mercury compared with those born in Wisconsin and Michigan. The findings may be explained by mothers' high fish consumption, health officials said.
