A japanese study is claiming that toxic air pollution from china is to blame for high mercury levels atop the country's beloved mount fuji.
It is a volcano that has been dormant since its last eruption (1707) but is still generally classified as active by geologists. Mount fuji's near perfect cone was created by an eruption thousands of years ago that buried earlier peaks, and pilgrims have been climbing it for centuries — though women have been allowed only. Around the time mount fuji was disappearing in a haze of smog, air pollution was spreading in the united states and europe as well. It is something that you have always dreamed of doing and when you go home, you tell all your friends how you conquered a mountain (even if all the centenarians passed you en route).
