Zusammenfassung
An increase in the number of health advisories for mercury, especially with regard to consumption of fish and fish products, has created new concerns for human health. The problem is most acute in certain populations (pregnant women, children, etc.) and provides a basis for the limiting of fish consumption. Data show a greater than 30% increase in the number of mercury advisories/bans in the last ten years.
