Your the one with the "it's the USA only" view of pollution. The problem is world wide and with respect to coal fired power stations in particular.

Mercury poisoning from power stations

Frankly I think 1 ppm is a not a safe upper limit for mercury in food to be consumed by human beings. I think is should be set lower. The reason being that 40 ppm has been proved to cause brain damage if ingested in food over a period of time.
