Coal Power and Health

Coal Power and Health
I was reluctant to talk about health issues but following is an extract from Scientific American.
I was more concerned about "global warming" and medical facts were known from 1952 and having worked in UK I need not have any pep talk health effects.
Scientists especially American Industrial agents had been distorting facts regarding global warming and delaying action till 2020  that was my primary concern.

To the credit of the American Doctors they have facts to prove their claims.

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson revealed the rules, which have been about 20 years in the making, at a Washington, D.C., children's hospital. 
Mercury can harm the nervous systems of developing fetuses and infants and can enter the food stream through contaminated fish.

While the rule mostly adhered to the tough proposal on mercury, arsenic, chromium and other pollutants made earlier in the year, there were some differences.
It is time for our doctors (wake up call) in practice to formulate guidelines.
If we do not have coal power then we can investigate cadmium, and arsenic in our rice (fertilizer).
