Subject: I support the IEPA mercury ruleFrom: "jmbenton@sbcglobal.net" <jmbenton@sbcglobal.net>Date:Thu, 13 Apr 2006 14:42:47 -0500To: max@illinoispirg.orgDear Pollution Control Board members, PC 1~ SoI am writing to urge you to support the IEPA mercury rule to reduce power plantmercury emissions by 90% by 2009.
Mercury is a known neurotoxin that already contaminates fish in all Illinois
waters-and its main source is coal-fired power plants .
Studies have shown that
mercury exposure harms the human brain, heart, and immune system.
IEPA's rule would simply require Illinois coal-fired power plants to use this
technology.
