Mercury pollution significantly higher in Victoria

Date Time Mercury pollution significantly higher in Victoria “Historically lax” regulations around pollution control have led to much higher levels of mercury emission from coal-fired power stations in Victoria, according to a new study from The Australian National University (ANU). The study compared mercury levels in sediment from lakes close to power stations in the Victoria’s Latrobe Valley and the NSW Hunter Valley. According to lead author Dr Larissa Schneider, there was a stark difference. “New South Wales and Victoria have historically had very different regulatory approaches. Victorian power stations have used “dirtier” coal – or coal with a higher mercury concentration – and had less efficient pollution control devices,” she said.

A tale of two valleys: Latrobe and Hunter regions both have coal stations, but one has far worse mercury pollution

Our new research compared the level of mercury pollution in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales and the Latrobe Valley in Victoria. And we found power stations in the Latrobe Valley emit around 10 times more mercury than power stations in the Hunter Valley. Indeed, the mercury level in the Latrobe Valley environment is 14 times higher than what’s typically natural for the region.
