Certain types of fish are dangerous to human life due to contamination with mercury. Lakes in north-eastern states and the Great Lakes in the United States are at high danger to the proximity of water bodies and sources of mercury emissions. In July 2000 launched the National Research Council and of the National Academy of Sciences report summarized that the mercury is widespread permanently in the environment and that the instructions issued by the Environmental Protection Agency, which established the maximum exposure levels are acceptable scientifically to protect public health. The report also stated that exposure to mercury can cause neurological problems in 60,000 children are born each year in the United States of America.

The three countries formed a coalition force of North America on the issue of mercury in 1999, and the goal is to prevent and reduce the release of mercury from major sources of each country.
