Mercury from the air can get into water and build up in fish tissue. true or false?

True. Mercury can be released into the air through industrial processes and then deposit into water bodies through precipitation or runoff. Once in the water, it can convert to methylmercury, which accumulates in fish tissue as it moves up the food chain, leading to higher concentrations in larger predatory fish. This bioaccumulation poses a risk to both aquatic life and human health.
