EPA says 8% of women have mercury in bodies that could imperil babies.

 

About 8 percent of American women of childbearing age have concentrations of

mercury in their bodies that could put their unborn children at risk of adverse

health effects, according to a report released by the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency.

 

 

This is the first time the federal government has reported on mercury

contamination in women of childbearing age, so the EPA cannot compare the

numbers to previous years.

 

Environmental groups recently had criticized the agency for not releasing the

report earlier.

 

The report is available on the Internet at www.epa.gov/envirohealth/children.
