As in both our countries, our west coasts are 'downwind' of China & subsequently catch tons of mercury, ozone & all other forms of nastiness due to China's dependence on the extensive use of coal to fuel their economy. I recall reading a figure of 1400 tons annually of mercury alone. It behooves me to add, we have a lot of dirt under our respective fingernails when it comes to screwing up the environment to feed & sustain our own economies.
Cheers
