Mercury Exposure Assessment

Mercury Exposure Assessment involves evaluating the amount of mercury a person might have absorbed through sources like contaminated fish, environmental pollution, or occupational exposure. This process typically includes measuring mercury levels in biological samples such as blood, urine, or hair to estimate the extent of exposure. The goal is to determine if the exposure is within safe limits or if it poses health risks, guiding necessary actions to reduce or manage mercury contact. It is a vital step in protecting health, especially for populations at higher risk or with potential overexposure.
