In the 1960s and 1970s, the horrors of mercury poisoning in Japan and elsewhere shocked the world into curbing releases of the toxic metal.

Despite efforts to reduce mercury emissions into the environment, researchers report in ACS’ <em>Environmental Science & Technology Letters</em> that levels in tuna appear to be unchanged since 1971. They warn that more aggressive emission reduction targets are needed to...
