IN the NEWS - Mercury Poisoning too?

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Genesis 7:11
Apparently--along with all the chaos during the Global Flood--Mercury Poisoning was among the Problems facing those engulfed by the calamity...

"According to new research, the increased concentrations of mercury — the most genotoxic element on Earth — contributed to the end-Triassic crisis.

“Previous studies found elevated mercury concentrations in Triassic-Jurassic boundary sediments over a very large area stretching from Argentina to Greenland and from Nevada to Austria and that made us curious about the impact on the end-Triassic event.”
By looking at fern spores in sediments from the mass extinction, it was evident that these ferns were negatively affected by the mercury levels,” said lead author Dr. Sofie Lindström.
These results suggest that the end-Triassic mass extinction was not just caused by greenhouse gases from volcanoes causing global climate change, but that they also emitted toxins such as mercury wreaking havoc.”
