High mercury levels in the fish you eat.

           High levels of mercury are poising our sea food. The mercury is coming from factories surrounding bodies of water. Once smoke is emitted from the factories, the mercury particles drop into the water........Fish use their gills to obtain oxygen and other substances from the water. When you mercury into the water, that substance goes into their bodies. When you eat the fish, the mercury goes into your body.
