Mercury
Continued from page 1
“(Mercury) is a neurotoxin
and affects the central nervous
system,” Presley said. “It can
cause many problems including
paralysis and death, but among
the first harmful things noted
would be learning disabilities.”
High levels of mercury are
especially damaging to unborn
children. The fetus is so small
that it only takes a small
amount of mercury to cause
great harm, Presley said.
Pregnant women and women of
childbearing age should be
extremely cautious about the
levels of mercury they take in.
he said.
The government is working
to fix the problem of high mer
cury levels in seafood by trying
to lower the mercury levels in
lakes and oceans where fish are
caught for human consumption.
Industrial power plants are a
major source of unsafe mercury
emission into the environment.
Gill said.
“The burning of fossil fuels
for the production of energy is
one industry which introduces
mercury into the environment
on regional and global scales,”
Gill said. "There is a great deal
of discussion going on right
now between tlx* (U.S.)
Environmental Protection
Agency), the electric power
industry and Congress about
cutting mercury emissions from
power plants.”
Despite the recent concern
about high mercury levels in
fish, people should not stop eat
ing seafood altogether. Gill
said. People gain many health
benefits from eating fish and
other seafood. Gill said. People
simply need to be aware of the
high levels of mercury and that
they should be cautious about
which fish they eat.
“The high mercury content
in some fish has made me more
cautious of what seafood I eat,"
Laura Duncan, a freshman psy
chology major, said. “But I will
most definitely continue eating
seafood.”

Cambodian Land Mine Museum Relief
Fund. Fitoussi said he met Ra, who now
works as an anti-land mine activist, while
working as a professional photographer
in Cambodia.
The A&M Chapter of the American
Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS)
is sponsoring a race Saturday at 9 a.m. at
the Langford Architecture Center to raise
money for construction of a help center in
Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Ashley Dias, a sophomore architec
ture major and sophomore representative
for AIAS, and other students in the class
decided they wanted to do more than cre
ate proposals: They wanted to raise
money for the construction and make the
dream a reality.
About 20 percent of Cambodian chil
dren injured by mines die from their
injuries, and survivors are likely to be
seriously injured and often permanently
disabled, according to UNICEF.
Prosthesis is unlikely to be available in
Cambodia because of scarce medical
services.
An estimated 110 million land mines
in 64 countries are still lodged in the
ground.
Cambodia, Afghanistan and Angola
have suffered 85 percent of the world's
land mine casualties, according to
UNICEF.
Dias said almost $3,000 has been
raised so far: half from T-shirt sales and
half from race registration.
Anyone who has not yet registered for
the race can do so at Langford from
8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Saturday. The cost is $ 15
and includes a T-shirt.
“You can be a vampire with a camera
and make your money off people suffer
ing or you can choose to use your images
to shake people from their indifference,”
Fitoussi said.
