A recently released report from a national environmental group says Indiana's coal-fired power plants release high quantities of mercury that can pollute rivers, lakes and streams.

Environmental groups and policy makers are working together to find ways to clean up this kind of pollution. This week on Noon Edition, we’ll talk about the state of Indiana’s waterways.
