Gaius Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Detritus from the Gold Rush is heading toward America’s food basketWhen gold was discovered in California in 1849, the miners were confronted with a problem: there were huge amounts of the precious metal in the foothills of the Sierra and the only way to get it out was to blast it out of the soil with high-pressure hoses.The resulting mud containing the gold was run through sluices and mixed with mercury so the gold would settle to the bottom. The remains of the 19th-century practice are still visible in the area, and the poisonous mercury is now slowly making its way toward the fruit and nut orchards, and the rice fields of California’s lush Central Valley, America’s food basket, according to new research by a team of British and American scientists.Full Story at - http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/10/28/detritus-from-gold-rush-is-heading-toward-americas-food-basket/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Dorado Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Not to mention a just published study of mercury in fish from CA was not shown to be any sort of danger in the consumption of said fish. Besides all that bad boy mercury occurs naturally in numerous locations in California....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
