This is a good question, if the toxins were from air pollutants, then won't they also contaminate drinking water and rainwater catchments?

scary report revealing that fish in most of the lakes and reservoirs
throughout the state are contaminated with mercury, PCBs, and other
toxins. The <I>San Francisco Chronicle</I> ran a front-page story on
the report. But it left two unanswered questions: How bad are the fish
in East Bay reservoirs, and if the fish are full of poisons, what about
the water itself? That second question is particularly troubling,
considering that many of the reservoirs in the study supply drinking
water to California residents.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/5621CFF0-A305-43A6-8068-3E74C651DAC6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
