Abstract

It is well known that the toxicokinetics (i.e. absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion) of mercury
 is highly dependent on the form of mercury to which a receptor has been exposed. The aim of this
 paper is to summarize the available health effects information for mercury and mercury compounds in
 the international scientific literature (1940-2003) and to point to the need for increased Hg control of
 water and food, including mercury speciation, especially in Mediterranean countries.
