MERCURY - TOXIC HEAVY METALS FACTSHEET 80
Hg
200.59
Number 80 on the “periodic table” of elements
Mercury or “quicksilver,” is a shiny liquid metal that is a widespread environmental contaminant. The levels of mercury in our bodies today are much higher because of its greater use in recent times. Mercury is employed daily by medical and dental practices in thermometers, drugs and amalgam for fillings. It is also present in fungicides and pesticides and in some cosmetics. Mercury from industrial waste has contaminated our freshand salt-waters and to the plants and fish therein.

health care. Common sources include fungicides and pesticides, cosmetics, dental fillings, medicines, broken thermometers, coal burning which releases mercury into the atmosphere, fish, ocean bacteria, algae. Other sources of mercury are mirrors, latex paints, fabric softeners, felt, floor waxes and polishes, sewage sludge, laxatives containing calomel, cinnabar jewelry, tatoo dyes, and many others. Fungicides are the most widely used and probably the most potentially toxic.
This comes daily from our food, air, and water. Mercury is not well absorbed through the intestinal tract, only about 5-10 percent. Inhaled mercury fumes go into the blood, since it is soluble and passes through the lungs. Toxicity Limits- The average overall daily intake is between 30-50 mcg. Acceptable levels are between 0.02 - 0.03 ppm depending on what was analysed. Readings above 0.05 ppm should be cause for concern. Mercury is a highly toxic heavy metal and concentration levels should ideally be 0.
