Human activities, such as burning coal, oil and natural gas, burning household trash, and mining ore deposits, add mercury to the environment. Among selected subsistence fishing populations, between 1.5/1000 and 17/1000 children showed cognitive impairment (mild mental retardation) caused by the consumption of fish containing mercury. However, decades of study involving mothers and children in the Seychelles Islands in the Pacific Ocean, where residents consume a wide variety of ocean fish resulting in MeHg exposure that is about 10 times greater than in the populations of the U.S. and Europe, have muddled the scientific consensus. Mercury in hair may be used to estimate long-term exposure, but potential contamination may make interpretation difficult. Revisiting Astrocytic Roles in Methylmercury Intoxication. ; Mourao, D.S.
