Large amounts of mercury released under southwest Greenland ice sheet

About ten percent of the global riverine export of this toxic substance to oceans originates from this region - with potentially significant impacts on Arctic organisms ....

New research from Florida State University shows that concentrations of the toxic element mercury in rivers and fjords connected to the Greenland Ice Sheet are comparable to rivers in industrial China, an unexpected finding that is raising questions about the effects of glacial melting in an area that is a major exporter of seafood.
There are surprisingly high levels of mercury in the glacier meltwaters we sampled in southwest Greenland, said FSU postdoctoral fellow Jon Hawkings. And that s leading us to look now at a whole host of other questions such as how that mercury could potentially get into the food chain. ....
