More about danger from toxic mercury in the food chain - Think about how much and which type of fish you eat.

World on alert over toxic mercury in food chain - Daily Telegraph report.

Extract:

"A worldwide alert about rising levels of toxic mercury in the food chain is issued today by scientists.

The risks posed by mercury-contaminated fish are now big enough to trigger a warning to the public to be careful about how much and which fish they eat.


Children and women of childbearing age should take particular care, they say.

Fish and shellfish have a natural tendency to concentrate mercury in their bodies, often in the form of methylmercury, a toxic organic form.

Species high in the food chain, such as swordfish, king mackerel, albacore tuna, shark and tilefish, contain higher concentrations of mercury.

There are concerns about the effects the mercury could have on humans, particularly unborn children. Methylmercury exposure may also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease."
