Commentary
- The general population does not face a significant
health risk from methylmercury
- Population groups in which predatory fish or shellfish
otherwise contaminated, constitute a major proportion of
their diet, are however at risk.
- The damage of brain and nervous system is the most
important threats posed by the existence of low levels of
methymercury in the environment. The Effects of the ecosystem
cannot be looked upon as an isolated problem: the synergistic
effects of methylmercury with other environmental pollution
must be considered.
