DO ALL FISH AND SHELLFISH CONTAIN MERCURY?

Mercury levels in the oceans have tripled since the Industrial Revolution, thanks to mining and the burning of fossil fuels. All sea creatures absorb some of this heavy metal directly, and, once it’s in the body, there’s no way of getting rid of it. The amount of mercury in fish varies between species. Long-lived predators like tuna and swordfish tend to contain the most, because they also absorb mercury from their prey and they’ve had a long time to accumulate it. The lowest levels are found in short-lived species lower down the food chain, such as oysters and shrimp.

the top 10 fastest road cars in the world

TEN FASTEST ROAD CARS 01 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport Top speed: 431km/h 2010–present despite having made its public debut back in 2010, all other road-legal cars continue to eat the Super Sport’s cinders. Powered by an eight-litre engine, the Bugatti is capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in just 2.4 seconds. This need for speed doesn’t come cheap, though. Prospective owners need to have a spare $2.5m in their back pocket. And then there’s those insurance premiums. 02 Hennessey Venom Gt Top speed: 428km/h 2012–present 03 Koenigsegg Agera R Top speed: 418km/h 2011–present 04 Ssc Ultimate Aero Top speed: 413km/h 2006–2013 05 9ff GT9-R Top speed: 413km/h 2007-2008 06 Saleen S7 Twin-turbo Top speed: 399km/h 2005–2009 07 Koenigsegg CCX Top speed: 394km/h 2006–2010 08 McLaren F1 Top speed: 386km/h 1992-1998 09 Zenvo st1 Top speed: 374km/h 2009–present 10 Pagani Huayra Top speed: 370km/h 2012–present
