Abstract
The study was undertaken in order to elucidate the association between low atmospheric mercury levels and changes in some biological parameters likely to react to such exposures. The study covered four populations believed to be exposed to four different levels of atmospheric mercury: rural inhabitants, town dwellers, population from a mercury mining and smelting town, and workers occupationally exposed to mercury. The study concludes tentatively that mercury exposure is likely to induce changes in the activity of cholinesterase, alkaline phosphatase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and also to cause changes in the concentration of coproporphyrin and probably glutathione.
