"Mirroring A Drop In Emissions, Mercury In Tuna Also Declines" [1]

"For years, public health experts have warned against eating certain kinds of fish, including tuna, that tend to accumulate mercury.

But recently, as industry cuts down on its mercury emissions, research has found mercury concentrations in some fish are dropping."
