Our exposure to methylated mercury, the most toxic form, is largely through eating contaminated fish.I have to bring you up to speed with this . This is other things rather than *Immunization* Today, nearly every U.S. state warns residents to restrict their consumption of certain fish due to mercury contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency also have fish consumption advisories for mercury.The Coursee of your childs autism In addition you can prove me wrong, New research indicates that mercury also is accumulating at potentially dangerous levels in terrestrial wildlife, some of which are not fish-eating animals. But mercury doesn’t start out in living organisms, it gets there. Through mostly human activities (and some natural sources too), mercury is released from ores, minerals and fossil fuels into the biosphere where it can circulate throughout the globe and accumulate in living organisms. Although many uses of mercury have been curtailed, mercury compounds continue to be released into the atmosphere. The largest sources of mercury emissions in the U.S. and worldwide are coal-fired power plants, waste incinerators, metallurgy/mining operations (especially gold mining), and chlor-alkali plants that employ mercury-cell technology. A potentially growing source of mercury is disposable products, such as compact fluorescent bulbs and personal electronics (cell phones, LCD TVs, digital cameras), which contain mercury. The mercury eventually leaks into the atmosphere when broken or crushed in a landfill. What is tricky about mercury is that it exists in a variety of chemical and physical forms and can change from one form to another. Some forms are more toxic than others. Depending on its form, mercury released into the air can travel short or long distances even all the way around the world – and cycle between the earth’s surface and the atmosphere Zink !. Unless it is contained, mercury can be re-emitted into the air.Yea particularly damaging to the development of fetuses, infants and young children. REMBER HIGH IN MERCURY = LOW IN ZINK .
