You hear about mercury in seafood, and that you should be careful not to eat too much. But have you ever wondered where the mercury that’s in the ocean even comes from? 

On the show today is Dr. Carl Lamborg, a marine chemist, specializing in studying mercury in the ocean. Carl’s research has taken him all over the world, including to the Arctic Sea, and through different research institutions such as WHOI. Now Carl is currently teaching and conducting his research with UCSC. 

In this episode, learn where mercury in the ocean comes from, how it gets into the food web, and ultimately how we may have this neurotoxin inside our own tissues. Carl has a really great ask and resource at the end of the episode, so be sure to stay tuned to hear about that.
