Tropical Birds Are Getting Mercury Poisoning From Gold Mining

#shorts #mercury #Gold mining #new study #researchers A new study has found that gold mining is causing some tropical birds to have dangerously high levels of mercury. One green kingfisher even had 30 times the safe amount! This is bad news for the birds, but it’s also bad news for the miners, who are using mercury to extract gold. The mercury is getting into the environment and making its way into the food chain, which is why the birds are being poisoned. So, if you’re a gold miner, you better stop using mercury or you’re gonna end up killing all the birds!
