Miami University Students to Get Hair Tested for Toxic Mercury

 Miami University Students to Get Hair Tested for Toxic Mercury

OXFORD, OH (FOX19) - Miami University students will gather to submit hair samples to test the levels of toxic mercury in their bodies.  The EPA has estimated that one in six U.S. women of childbearing age has mercury levels in her blood high enough to put her baby at risk of birth defects including neurological and developmental disorders, and learning disabilities. Miami students are especially concerned about mercury toxicity because they live with an on-campus coal plant.

Coal-fired power plants emit toxic mercury into our air where it rains down into our rivers and streams and then makes its way to our bodies via contaminated fish.
