Subject: I support the IEPA mercury ruleFrom: "phoebe_phillips@yahoo.com" <phoebe_phillips@yahoo.com>Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2006 10:04:05 -0500To : max@illinoispirg.orgDear Pollution Control Board members,I am writing to urge you to support the IEPA mercury rule to reduce power plantmercury emissions by 90% by 2009.
Mercury is a neurotoxin that already contaminates fish in all Illinois waters so I do
not fish in Illinois - and its main source is coal-fired power plants .
Studies have
shown that mercury exposure harms the human brain, heart, and immune system.
Modern, inexpensive pollution controls can capture 90% of the mercury from power
plants....
