I believe that Mercury is addressed in the bill in regards to being a by product of coal emissions. The bill is only in the draft stage, however it mainly concentrates on implementing higher emissions standards for coal burning plants. Mercury is not a specific target of the bill, however reductions of Mercury spewed into the air are likely to occur through adoption of a clean coal policy. There are amendments in the bill for the Clean Water Act, which will help to reduce Mercury in our drinking water supply. Mercury and other heavy metals aren't specifics targets for this legislation like I mentioned, however reductions in these pollutants are likely to occur if this bill is put into law.
