TL;DR: The study shows that sociocultural factors are important in determining mercury exposure, and two village communities consume different species of fish with different frequencies, leading to differential exposure and mercury concentrations in hair samples.

TL;DR: The data suggest that free cyanide oxidation was slower than would be expected from the high water turbulence, resulting in a long-range inhibition of bacterial activity and hence mercury methylation in sediments along the Puyango river watershed.

TL;DR: With the discovery of mining and metal-working techniques in ancient times, metals, metals pollution, and human health were linked (Nriagu 1996), and adverse health effects associated with exposure to metals have been at the root of occupational health as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a lien entre les metaux, la pollution metallique and la sante humaine is defined, and the effets nefastes sur les associes a l’exposition aux metaux sont au cœur de la Sante professionnelle depuis les travaux de Ramazzini aux xvii e et xviii e siecles.
