Environment InternationalHumans are exposed to toxic methylmercury mainly by consuming marine fish, in particular top predator species like billfishes or tunas. In seafood risk assessments, mercury is assumed to be mostly present as organic methylmercury in predatory fishes; yet

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

Marine migration influences mercury accumulation in anadromous Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus)
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Mercury (Hg) is a globally distributed toxic metal present in northern natural environments that biomagnifies in food webs and bioaccumulates in apex predator fish, such as Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus)—an iteroparous species with a circumpolar distribution. Arctic char exhibit a variety of life history types, with the migrating, anadromous

Dietary mercury intake, the IL23R rs10889677 polymorphism, and the risk of gastric cancer in a Korean population: a hospital-based case-control study [PDF]
Epidemiology and HealthOBJECTIVES Mercury can stimulate immune responses through T helper 17 (Th17). The gene IL23R is a key factor in Th17 function, which may also contribute to digestive tract diseases.

Methylmercury Exposure and Health Effects [PDF]
Journal of Preventive Medicine & Public Health, 2012 Methylmercury is a hazardous substance that is of interest with regard to environmental health, as inorganic mercury circulating in the general environment is dissolved into freshwater and seawater, condensed through the food chain, ingested by humans, and consequently affects human health.

, 1984 The adsorption of methylmercury cation, CH3Hg+, on the surface of amorphous silica is strongly pH-dependent and can be described with a single methylmercury-involved surface equilibrium: SiOH + CH3Hg+ ⇌ SiOHgCH3 + H+; ★K31 = 10-1.95 at I = 0.1 M NaClO4 ...

Molecular composition of organic matter controls methylmercury formation in boreal lakes
Nature Communications, 2017 Neurotoxic methylmercury can be found in high levels in aquatic systems, but the role of organic matter in methylmercury formation is not well understood. Here, Bravoet al.

Mercury speciation and safety of fish from important fishing locations in the Czech Republic
Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2012 The aim of the study was to describe the distribution of total mercury in the tissues of fish originating from important Czech fishing locations and to determine the level of methylmercury as a percentage of total mercury (Hg speciation).
