Environmental Integrity Project (Mar 17 2010)
A new report from the Environmental Integrity Project identifies the top fifty mercury-polluting power plants. The report shows that more than half of the top fifty actually increased their mercury emissions from 2007 to 2008. The report uses Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data to analyze mercury releases.
