Impact/Purpose:
The goal was to articulate research and monitoring priorities to better understand how marine food webs have become contaminated with methyl mercury and the potential exposure to humans.
Description:
Consumption of marine fish and shellfish is a major route of human exposure to methyl mercury. This paper is the result of a workshop by the Dartmouth Toxic Metals Research Program in November 2006 on "Fate and Bioavailability of Mercury in Aquatic Ecosystems and Effects on Human Exposure."
