In relation to its addition to public water supplies anyway:
It is in so low a concentration as to be a net boon for public health (for those with less good dental health practices, at least).
If anti-authoritarians want to rail against ruling-class hydroecotoxicology they should concentrate on state complicity in absolutely poisonous matters such as First Nation (and surely others).

Otherwise...: it's kinda cool for its reactivity(?).

Join the Land Alliance to say "no" to unwanted mining activity on their land and stand in solidarity with their struggle for control over their lives and their lands.

We will rally to tell Ford to respect Indigenous rights and protect their sources of life on their Territories in the face of mining incursions.

The rally will be at University Ave and Grosvenor St near the Past and Present Monument.

"Grassy Narrows may have held off the loggers, but the community still struggles with a legacy of mercury poisoning after a pulp mill upstream dumped its industrial waste into the river.

The health effects of the neurotoxin have afflicted hundreds of people in the small community for decades."
