We sampled and analyzed individually, edible dorsal muscle from largemouth bass (LMB), Micropterus salmoides (n=138) and yellow perch (YP), Perca flavescens (n=97) from 15 lakes to investigate potential local impacts of mercury emission point sources in northeastern Massachusetts (MA), USA. This area was identified in three separate modeling exercises as a mercury deposition hotspot. In 1995, 55% of mercury emissions to the environment from all MA sources came from three municipal solid waste combustors (trash incinerators) and one large regional medical waste incinerator in the study area.
