I have no idea why Mercury would be used…
Makes no sense to me… Turbidity ant Nitrites have shown some correlation
in the past but not enough to be of any practical use..
I think someone goofed for a change

Mercury as a Pathogen Indicator.
Chemicals have never been able to serve as a pathogen
indicator. I know of no data which would correlate mercury to other
microbial pollutants of concern. I do not even think that most of the
sources are correlated (industrial and atmospheric).
Do you know anything more about it?

Mercury as a Pathogen Indicator.
Representative Mark Kirk offered an amendment to the Beach
Protection Act of 2008 “to treat Mercury as a Pathogen
Indicator”. I’m looking for what the main point of this
amendment is. Is it that mercury should be consider a contaminant or an
indicator of something else?
