Recognizing and Preventing Overexposure to Methylmercury from Fish and Seafood Consumption: Information for Physicians

Journal of Toxicology, 2011
Fish is a valuable source of nutrition, and many people would benefit from eating fish regularly. But some people eat a lot of fish, every day or several meals per week, and thus can run a significant risk of overexposure to methylmercury. Current advice

Heavy Metal Pollution From Illegal Mining ‘Galamsey’ Activities on the Viability of Clarias gariepinus in the Oda River, Ghana

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Activities associated with illegal mining, ‘galamsey’, often result in significant environmental degradation, particularly to water bodies. In the case of River Oda, like all other affected areas in Ghana, galamsey operations contribute to the pollution of the water body with some heavy metals such as mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As)

Bioaccumulation of Mercury, Cadmium, Lead, and Arsenic in Whiting and Tub Gurnard From the Sea of Marmara: Implications for Human Health

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
Mercury levels in whiting and tub gurnard captured from the Sea of Marmara exceeded EU regulatory limits. TTHQ was above 1 for individuals weighing 50, 70, and 90 kg in the western part of the sea. Consumers with lower body weights were at greater cancer risk (TR) regarding inorganic arsenic. FDA's recommendation for whiting consumption may pose a risk

The Organic Arsenic Compound Diphenylarsinic Acid Transfers From the Mother to the Fetus via the Placenta in Mammals

Neuropsychopharmacology Reports, Volume 45, Issue 2, June 2025.
The analysis of umbilical cords from pregnant women who drank water containing DPAA revealed that DPAA could transfer from the mother to the fetus through the placenta. Additionally, experiments using rodents confirmed that DPAA could also reach the fetal brain through placental transfer.

Methylmercury, Amalgams, and Children’s Health [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2006
In their excellent article, Bjornberg et al. (2005) stated that exposure to methyl-mercury in humans occurs primarily through fish consumption. We would like to make one observation about the sources of potential exposure to methylmercury in the general population. We were surprised that Bjornberg et al.

Disease burden of methylmercury in the German birth cohort 2014. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
This study aimed to estimate the disease burden of methylmercury for children born in Germany in the year 2014. Humans are mainly exposed to methylmercury when they eat fish or seafood. Prenatal methylmercury exposure is associated with IQ loss.

Developments in Permafrost Science and Engineering in Response to Climate Warming in Circumpolar and High Mountain Regions, 2019–2024

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 167-188, April/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Research in geocryology is currently principally concerned with the effects of climate change on permafrost terrain. The motivations for most of the research are (1) quantification of the anticipated net emissions of CO2 and CH4 from warming and thaw of near‐surface permafrost and (2) mitigation of effects on infrastructure of such warming and

Targeting signaling pathways in neurodegenerative diseases: Quercetin's cellular and molecular mechanisms for neuroprotection

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 798-818, May 2025.
Quercetin regulates signaling pathways in neurodegenerative diseases, including NF‐κB, sirtuins, and PI3K/Akt. Studies show quercetin improves symptoms and pathology in neurodegenerative models. The study aims to incorporate laboratory research into practical medical treatment, focusing on quercetin's neuroprotective effects and optimal dosage ...

Mercury and methylmercury bioaccessibility in swordfish

Food Additives & Contaminants: Part A, 2010
Concentrations of mercury (Hg) in swordfish (Xiphias gladius) present a food safety problem for many countries. This study analyses total Hg (t-Hg) concentrations in 27 samples of swordfish marketed in Spain in 2005 and in their bioaccessible fractions (soluble concentration in gastrointestinal medium), obtained after applying an in vitro digestion ...
