Mercury Spill Identified in Killingly Connecticut

April 19, 2007

Fish caught in Fivemile River in Killingly Connecticut may be tainted with mercury. The EPA released a statement today warning residents of the area that eating fish caught between the Warsaw Pond dam and the Ballouville Pond may not be safe for human consumption. This warning came directly after one hundred pounds of mercury was found last month dumped along a country road near the river. The spill was promptly cleaned up by federal and state environmental protection teams. The source of the mercury remains unknown. At this time, officials do not know how long the local environment was exposed to mercury before it was discovered. Mercury is a toxic substance, and all chances of ingesting it must be avoided.
