"The majority of our mercury exposure, however, is from eating certain species of fish. But mercury is not a natural toxin in fish, so how did it get there?

The chain of events goes something like this:

• Mercury gets into the air as a byproduct of industrial activities such as power generation from coal; garbage incineration; recycling of older automobiles; and some types of mining, manufacturing, and chlorine production. Smaller volumes of mercury are also released through volcanic eruptions and rock weathering.
• From there, the airborne mercury is deposited on land and water, where microorganisms convert it into a more biologically active form, methylmercury.
• The methylmercury then works its way up the food chain. Because organisms tend to store mercury, not excrete it, concentrations of mercury get higher and higher as larger, longer-living creatures gobble up smaller ones. By the time you get to a top predator fish like a swordfish, albacore tuna, or shark, the concentrations are quite high. Fish can also absorb methylmercury directly from water as it passes over their gills, though this is a lesser avenue of accumulation.

When humans eat mercury-contaminated fish, they get the mercury that's in fish's flesh.
