Factors determining homotoxic overload Heavy metals © IAH 2007 20
Metals and metalloids • Classification of metals according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States • Hazardous metals: • Mercury (heavy trace metal) • Beryllium (light trace metal) • Mild exposure can harm human health © IAH 2007 21 People in the U.S. are mainly exposed to methylmercury, an organic compound, when they eat fish and shellfish that contain methylmercury. Whether an exposure to the various forms of mercury will harm a person's health depends on a number of factors (below). Almost all people have at least trace amounts of methylmercury in their tissues, reflecting methylmercury’s widespread presence in the environment and people’s exposure through the consumption of fish and shellfish. People may be exposed to mercury in any of its forms under different circumstances. The factors that determine how severe the health effects are from mercury exposure include these: the chemical form of mercury (methylmercury is more toxic than elemental mercury); the dose; the age of the person exposed (the fetus is the most susceptible); the duration of exposure; the route of exposure: inhalation, ingestion, dermal contact, etc.; and the health of the person exposed. For fetuses, infants, and children, the primary health effect of methylmercury is impaired neurological development. Methylmercury exposure in the womb, which can result from a mother's consumption of fish and shellfish that contain methylmercury, can adversely affect a baby's growing brain and nervous system. Impacts on cognitive thinking, memory, attention, language, and fine motor and visual spatial skills have been seen in children exposed to methylmercury in the womb. Short-term: the EPA has found Beryllium to potentially cause the following health effects : inflammation of the lungs when inhaled; less toxic in drinking water. Long-term: Beryllium has the potential to cause the following effects from a lifetime exposure at levels above the minimal concentration level (MCL): damage to bones and lungs; cancer. 21
