mercury poisoning. 600,000. in 2012 dr. drone paulson from the american academy of pediatrics testified -- this is what he said. there is no evidence demonstrating a safe level of mercury exposure. dr. paulson, the american academy of pediatrics testifying before our committee 2012, again he said there's no evidence demonstrating a safe level of mercury exposure. our nation's most representable pediatric organization dedicated to the health and well-being of our children has made clear that medical research shows there is no safe level of mercury exposure for our children, none. mr. pruitt has come to his own conclusions about mercury. the 2012 lawsuit that mr. pruitt joined with coal companies against the mercury and air toxics rule stated, this is what the lawsuit said, the record does not support e.p.a.'s findings that mercury, nonmercury hazardous air pollutant metals and acid gas hazardous air pollutants pose public health hazards. i got to read that again. 2012 lawsuit in which mr. pruitt joined with coal

mercury. >> i'm sorry? >> i'm going to start off by talking about mercury. in 2011, the epa required dirty coal power plants to clear up mercury and air toxic emissions by issuing the mercury and air toxics standards rule. this rule will reduce the mercury and neurotoxins that contaminate our streams and oceans, pollutes our fish and harms our children's health. as attorney general i believe you have been part of at least 14 legal cases against the epa and at least three of these cases against the epa's rules to reduce mercury emissions from power plants. is that correct? yes or no? >> senator, we have been involved in litigation around -- >> is that correct, yes or no? >> as i indicated, yes, we have been part of litigation. >> thank you. it's my understanding at least one of these cases against the mercury rule is still pending. is that correct, yes or no? >> i believe so. yes. >> thank you. in the cases against the mercury rule you questioned the epa's determination that mercury emissions from power plants are harmful to health and should be regulated. to

once in the water mercury is converted to a toxic chemical called methyl mercury, and this accumulates in increasing levels up aquatic marine food chains. it's one of the reasons why they tell pregnant women often, doctors will advise them not to eat fish, certain fish because of the high mercury content. why is there a high mercury content to some of this fish? well, this is the reason. spewing out into our air, coming down, settling on land and water, going into our waterways, working its way up the aquatic chain ultimately getting into our food. humans, especially young children, and pregnant women are vulnerable to mercury exposure from consuming contaminated fish or shellfish. this is the tragic part. over 400,000 newborns are affected by mercury pollution each year in the united states, 400,000 of our children, of the greatest hope for our country, 400,000 children by mercury pollution each year in the united states. and what does mercury exposure do? it damages the brain. it damages the heart. it damages the kidneys. it damages the lungs. it damages the immune systems of people

the process will lead to a mercury advisory more than likely by the end of the summer. but that advisory comes two years after the fish were sampled. >> we're disseminating the information through our website as we get it. >> reporter: don is with the russian river keeper, and wants to know what is the holdup. >> what we would love to see in the perfect world is the public being alerted right away. >> reporter: but the office says it is not slated to complete the advisory until fiscal year 2017-2018. their reason, they say, because the state is still developing warnings for other waterways in the state. they declined our request for an on-camera interview. environmentalists will be doing their own warnings. >> women who are pregnant, and small children under 18 should not neat baths in the -- bath in the russian river. don't eat them. >> we requested an on camera interview with the state water board to find out why the process takes so long, but they declined our request. >> hard to believe. good report, but hard to believe. a government agency, right? >> it takes time.

for mercury contamination was climbing. this year the state lists 40 lakes with fish consumption advisories due to mercury levels, up from 19 listed in 2010. eight lakes were added just this year. another attorney general might have been trying to identify the sources of the pollution, but pruitt was apparently too busy suing the e.p.a. pruitt also attacks limits on ground level ozone. now, ground level ozone is smog. despite the fact that ozone problems are acute and worsening in oklahoma. the latest american lung association report gave all oklahoma counties surveyed an f for ozone problems and found that the number of high ozone days had increased in most counties to -- from 2010-2012. the argument in this article can be boiled down to a single phrase. with mr. pruitt leading the e.p.a., we can bet that as goes oklahoma, so goes the nation. i can't speak for the people of oklahoma, but i can also -- but i can say that when it comes to these kinds of statistics on polluted air and water, we'd like to pass. and i'm sure if

pruitt says about mercury. human exposure to methal mercury resulting from the coal fire the e.g. uses is exceedingly small. this is again, a brief, white stallion energy center versus e.p.a., what the scientists say. as a result of these long-term mercury inputs, there are hot spots such as the adirondacks of new york and the great lakes region of the midwest and large portions of the southeast where the fishery is contaminated with mercury. there are more fish consumption advisories in the u.s. for mercury than all other contaminants combined. and i could tell you just on a personal level to the senator from rhode island that i like my ahi. i like my fresh sashimi. i like tuna. everybody in hawaii likes fish. you kind of watch how much marlin you eat, how much ahi you eat, because we understand this is a real mercury problem. this isn't made up. iñ if you talk to er doctors, they have to deal with mercury poisoning on a weekly basis. here's what mr. pruitt says. finally the record does not support e.p.a.'s findings that mercury, nonmercury metals and acid gas pose public health

pruitt questioned whether mercury poses a health hazard. mercury is a well-known neurotoxin. it means that it poisons the nervous system, and scott pruitt thinks he should question whether it poses any health hazard. wow! or maybe it is this example. when the e.p.a. moved to reduce leaks of meth ann, a -- methane, a greenhouse gas 30 times more potent than co2, he turned the oklahoma a.g. office into a clearinghouse for big oil to pursue lawsuits attacking the e.p.a. scott pruitt has spent so much time with his campaign donors that he honestly appears incapable of understanding the difference between the financial interests of the millionaires who run giant oil companies and the health and well-being of the four million human beings who actually live in oklahoma. the people need a voice more than ever. for generations, oklahoma has had very few earthquakes. then oil companies decided to up production, to pull every last drop of oil out of the ground. but with every drop of oil came useless toxic radioactive saltwater waste and it has to go somewhere. so they took the cheapest

our streams are polluted with mercury. the levels are so high vulnerable populations are advised to severely limit their consumption. scott pruitt wants to continue this pollution of our streams. mr. pruitt testified in hearing -- testified in his hearing before e.p.w., he saw a role for the e.p.a. to address pollution that crosses state boundaries, but his litigation history does not support that testimony. as oklahoma attorney general, he fought the e.p.a.'s cross-state air pollution rule, a rule designed to recuse power plant emissions -- to reduce power plant emissions across state lines and cause smog and soot pollution and health problems in downwind states, especially the cross-state air pollution rule reduces sulfur dioxide or so-2 and oxides of nitrogen or knox emissions. they contribute to fine particle and soot pollution and to ground-level ozone formation, otherwise known as smog. even though this pollution affects the air and health of downwind states, mr. pruitt sided with the power plants. air pollution is n

rules like the mercury and air toxins standard, for example.number two, the cross-state air pollution rule. number three, the ozone rule. number four, the new source performance standards for the oil and gas industry. number five, the clean power plan, which is meant to obviously focus our policy on climate change. and other policies to reduce exposure to pollutants like methane, organic compounds, mercury and carbon pollution itself. according to the american lung association's 2016 state of the air report, these rules reduce -- reduce -- the likelihood of premature death, asthma attacks, lung cancer, and heart disease. i would hope if you have a series of measures in place that reduces the likelihood of asthma attacks, lung cancer, heart disease, and premature death, i would hope that we would not only advance those policies, but make sure they're not destroyed, undermined or compromised. so it's just common sense to make sure that we regulate pollutants like lead, mercury, arsenic and acid gases, just by way of example. and yet, mr. pruitt,
