Description

Exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) from fish and marine mammal consumption continues to present a public health concern in Canada and elsewhere. (1,2) Extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence have indicated that neurotoxicity resulting from in utero exposure is the most sensitive health outcome. (2-6) This evidence has formed the basis of health-risk assessments and biomonitoring guidance values that allow researchers and clinicians to evaluate individual and population risk and guide public health actions when necessary. This article summarizes Health Canada MeHg blood guidance values and their associated public health recommendations, according to age, sex, and level of exposure. Included are existing guidance values for the general adult population and provisional interim guidance values for children, pregnant women and women of childbearing age for the protection of the developing nervous system.
