Abstract:
Methylmercury is a potent toxicant, bioaccumulated and concentrated through the aquatic food chain, placing risks to human on the top of the chain. Based on the researches of adverse health effects exposed to methylmercury, several health risk assessment indexes (reference dose, provisional tolerable weekly intake, occupational mercury exposure assessment indexes ) and experiences on methylmercury exposure prevention (mainly on fish consumption) from the developed countries are presented in this paper.
