[pure-silver] Re: Mercury Intensifier (VMI)

Eric and others,

Well, I've just finished reading about where all the mercury pollution to
the Australian environment comes from, and I had no idea about some of the
figures.  Electricity suppliers are the 5th highest polluters (into the air)
and are responsible for 'only' 4% (=1100kg) of the total amount (27000kg)
p.a.

The highest by far in Australia comes form Metal ore mining (which Australia
does a lot of) and comes out at a whopping 32% of the total amount put
into the air.
