Mercury is a naturally occurring heavy metal. At ambient temperature and pressure, it is a silvery-white liquid that readily vaporizes and may stay in the atmosphere for up to a year. When released to air, mercury is transported and deposited globally. Mercury enters the food chain primarily through atmospheric deposition.
