Mercury refining is a process in which one extracts mercury from its ore. To do this‚ you have to use very high heat to get the mercury above its boiling point. In a journal written by Nicholas A. Robins and Nicole A. Hagan called Mercury Production and Use in Colonial Andean Silver Production: Emissions and Health Implications they wrote‚ "Writing of the [mercury] refining process around 1590‚ the Jesuit José de Acosta described

Mine deals with its waste‚ which causes an increase in mercury levels in the Attawapiskat River. Figure 1: an aerial view of the Victor Diamond Mine in James Bay‚ Ontario. The problem that the Attawapiskat tribe faces is that they have to find away to avoid mercury poisoning in the water that they drink‚ and the fish that they eat. The Attawapiskat people use the Attawapiskat River for hunting‚ fishing‚ and medicinal plants. The mercury is consumed on microscopic levels by bacteria and plankton

As Sam observed he noticed how mercury would combine without leaving a trace of ever being separated‚ increasing his curiosity‚ Mercury as he found out is a shallow element only wanting to bind to itself. Mercury allowed Sam to learn more of other subjects‚ by learning mercury’s usage. Being from
