DALLAS, Texas, March 22 (TNSjou) -- Southern Methodist University issued the following news:
A global treaty called the Minamata Convention requires gold-mining countries to regularly report the amount of toxic mercury that miners are using to find and extract gold, designed to help nations gauge success toward at least minimizing a practice that produces the world's largest amount of manmade mercury pollution.
But a study of baseline mercury emission estimates reported . . .
