. Hazards of <strong>Mercury</strong> Pollution<br />

• <strong>Mercury</strong>’s damage to human health depends on the chemical<br />

state, environmental conditions of mercury and the ways of<br />

entering the human bodies.<br />

• <strong>Mercury</strong> vapor is highly diffusible and fat-soluble. It gets<br />

through the respiratory tract and is carried through the whole<br />

body by blood circulation. A large inhalation of mercury vapor<br />

can cause acute toxication such as hepatitis( 肝<br />

炎 ),hepatonephritis( 肾 炎 ),hematuria( 尿 血 ) and uraemia( 尿<br />

毒 ),etc.<br />

• The toxicity effect of organic mercury inside the human body is<br />

related to the organic radicals. Short-chained derivatives of<br />

mercury alkyl are more toxicant than aryl mercury( 芳 基 汞 ) and<br />

methoxyl-ethide mercury compounds( 甲 氧 基 乙 基 汞 化 合 物 ).
