National Geographic: The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday dealt a blow to an Obama administration regulation cutting mercury and other toxic emissions from power plants. The court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency didnt do enough to consider the costs of complying. As a result, the EPA will have to reexamine and perhaps alter its rules. But since the regulation went into effect earlier this year, many power plants have already installed equipment reducing mercury, a neurotoxin linked to lower IQs and other...

ScienceDaily: A Dartmouth-led study using a 600-year-old ice core shows that global mercury pollution increased dramatically during the 20th century, but that mercury concentrations in the atmosphere decreased faster than previously thought beginning in the late 1970s when emissions started to decline. The findings suggest that present-day efforts to cut mercury emissions will reduce pollution more quickly than current models predict. The study appears in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. ...
