Interesting article, @jvanman. I've seen at least one Carte Blanche deal with the question of uranium in downstream wetlands (and associated vegetable cultivation) and it was downright frightening. Thanks for presenting this serious issue in a comprehensive way.

It's a pleasure. Thanks for the comment. My follow up article will include what the government etc have done. But just in a nutshell, they don't care. There have been environmental impact assesments done and specialists that offer remediation, but because it costs money, they are not too interested. As long as it doesn't affect them.
Funny story, I did an XRF analysis on salt, normal table salt, when I was working at anglo, and there was leveles of mercury in the salt that was way higher than what the WHO suggests to be in contaminated fish. The truth is that we don't know what we are putting into our body.
Look forward to it!
And mercury in table salt...that's ominous. Hard to understand how it could have gotten there in the first place, unless it's somehow part of the processing. Perhaps that fleur de sel stuff is better for us than we thought.
