Hi, so I have to write a policy about a health issue but I keep getting stuck at places. The following briefly explains the case:

The Amazonian soil has an immense amount of mercury which after deforestation, washed down to rivers due to rainfall where the fish absorbed it. Now villagers in a village at a river bank in the Amazon have been found to have high levels of mercury in their body.

So, what can be done to solve this issue? ...other than not eat the fish....
What could the government do?
I have some ideas but they are too vague, so help me out please.
thanks ;)
