Journal ArticleDOI
Inter-individual variations of human mercury exposure biomarkers: a cross-sectional assessment
TL;DR: The use of THg concentration in whole blood as a proxy for MeHg exposure will give rise to an overestimation of the MeHG exposure depending on the degree of IHg Exposure, why speciation of mercury forms is needed and THg in RBC and hair are suitable proxies for Mehg exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dithiocarbamates Induce Apoptosis in Thymocytes by Raising the Intracellular Level of Redox-active Copper
TL;DR: It is concluded that pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate exerts a powerful pro-oxidant effect on thymocytes due to its ability to transport external redox-active copper into cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cadmium in kidney cortex, liver, and pancreas from Swedish autopsies. Estimation of biological half time in kidney cortex, considering calorie intake and smoking habits.
TL;DR: Based on the more pronounced cadmium accumulation among smokers than nonsmokers, the respiratory absorption rate of Cadmium from tobacco smoke is estimated to be approximately 50%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal study of methylmercury and inorganic mercury in blood and urine of pregnant and lactating women, as well as in umbilical cord blood.
TL;DR: Exposure to methylmercury and mercury vapor in pregnant women and their newborns in Stockholm shows the importance of speciation of Hg in blood for evaluation of exposure and health risks.
Journal Article
Mercury concentrations in the human brain and kidneys in relation to exposure from dental amalgam fillings.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the cause of the association between amalgam load and accumulation of mercury in tissues is the release of mercury vapour from amalgam fillings.
