Mercury Still Present?

Japanese Neuorlogist Dr. Masazumi Harada has returned to Grassy Narrows First Nation 27 years after his first visit.
In 1975, Harada travelled to the First Nation to determine what was causing residents to suffer twitches, dizziness, eye problems and severe birth defects.
He concluded the problems were the result of mercury poisoning.
Now the neurologist is back to re-assess survivors and determine whether mercury poisoning is still present.
Mercury dumped into the Wabigoon River by the Dryden Paper Mill contaminated the rivers and lake systems decades ago.
The Grassy Narrows and Whitedog reserves received over 18-million dollars in compensation from the Ontario and Federal Governments in 1986.
But Grassy Narrows chief Simon Frobisher says residents of the reserve are still being poisoned and the province should provide further compensation.
