Euro Chlor, representing the European Chlor-Alkali industry, has published a new title in its series of Science Dossiers: "Metallic mercury – The biological effects of long-time, low to moderate exposures”. This publication brings an analysis and synthesis of the most relevant scientific literature on the human health effects of exposure to low to moderate levels of metallic mercury vapour and represents an authoritative reference work on this matter.
The aim of the dossier is to present current knowledge of the effects of exposure to low levels of metallic mercury vapour and to define gaps in knowledge. For the purposes of the report, a "low level” of exposure is considered to be one that gives a kidney burden.
The new Science Dossier collates the findings of more than 120 recent scientific studies on health effects of mercury, which makes it very complete. Areas such as neurotoxicology, renal effects, immunotoxicity, cardio-vascular and cerebro-vascular toxicity, mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, reproduction toxicity and finally endocrine toxicity are explored.
