Abstract

The toxicity assessment study population is based in Bornuur and Jargalant soums of Tuv province in Mongolia, which are known for historic and current gold mining activity. The findings correlate with conclusions from a mercury exposure health risk assessment conducted by the WHO in 2008 and several subsequent epidemiological studies conducted at the Toxicology division of Mongolia's National Center for Public Health (NCPH). The outcomes of this investigation indicate that low-level mercury exposure caused symptomatic central nervous system toxicity associated with chronic exposure to mercury in Bornuur and Jargalant soums.
