Mercury is naturally found in rocks and soils; it's a liquid metal with a shiny and silvery appearance. Exposure to mercury in large doses can be highly toxic to the nervous system and kidneys, with effects including anxiety and depression, memory problems, possible tremors and poor coordination.[1] Methylmercury is formed as a result of bacteria in water converting mercury. Methylmercury is considered to be a critical pollutant which harms both humans and wildlife.[2]
