It’s no surprise, I’m sure it will get worse and likely never improve.  I’m finding it increasingly difficult to be optimistic about the future.

I would think that we pollute less than we used to.

I think they are just getting better at testing things.

That would have been a fairly safe assumption from the early '70s thru 2016.

That's part of it.  Another part is there are more of us than ever and still growing.  Still another part is this country is more concerned about cheap energy and products than our children's future.

Quote

Missouri’s statewide advisory applies to walleye, smallmouth, largemouth and spotted bass caught anywhere in the state, and the advisory cautions against eating more than one meal a month from those species if they are longer than 12 inches. 

Well I hope they are longer than 12 inches if people are eating them.
