Toxicological Effects of Methylmercury
Mercury is widespread in our environment. Methylmercury, one organic form of mercury, can accumulate up the aquatic food chain and lead to high concentrations in predatory fish. When consumed by humans, contaminated fish represent a public health risk.
Combustion processes, especially coal-fired power plants, are major sources of mercury contamination in the environment. The U.S. Environmental Prot...
