Comprehensive National Mercury Monitoring Act
The Comprehensive National Mercury Monitoring Act establishes a federal program to track mercury pollution across the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will set up monitoring sites in national parks, wildlife refuges, and communities with high mercury exposure risks to measure mercury levels in air, water, soil, and wildlife like fish and birds. Data collected will be stored in a public online database and used to produce biennial reports for Congress, including assessments of mercury levels and needed emission reductions. The program is funded with $37 million for 2024 and $29 million annually for 2025-2026.
