According to a recent newspaper report, the Bush Administration is looking for ways to loosen regulations on mercury emissions at power plants.

"This is unbelievable," said Clark. "We've got mercury in our air, mercury in our water, and mercury in our food - and too many Americans, especially children and pregnant women, are at risk. This is just another example of how this Administration is committed to dismantling environmental protections, one regulation at a time. Giving power plants free reign to pollute our country and poison our citizens doesn't protect our environment - it protects our special interests."

Currently, 41 states have issued advisories warning citizens about consuming mercury-tainted fish. High levels of mercury are especially harmful to children and pregnant women.
