Coal naturally contains small amounts of Mercury. When you burn coal, the mercury is vaporized and goes out the smokestack with the smoke. As it cools, it condenses and then falls back to the ground or into the water. Fish and other animals may accidentally ingest the mercury, and then humans eat the fish.

Why did power plant designers build tall smokestacks?
Some of the waste from nucular power plants is solid -- that goes into the temporary holding pools which have been in use a few decades and are really full; some is liquid -- that is released slowly to the cooling water and hence a river or ocean; and some is gaseous -- that goes up the stack and out into the air of the community. The stacks are built tall for the same reason smokestacks are tall; to dilute the pollutant.
