Journal ArticleDOI

Methylmercury exposure and health effects in humans: a worldwide concern.

Donna Mergler, +6 more
- 01 Feb 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that to preserve human health, all efforts need to be made to reduce and eliminate sources of exposure from the large number of marine and freshwater fish and fish-eating species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intellectual Impairment in School-Age Children Exposed to Manganese from Drinking Water

Maryse F. Bouchard, +8 more
- 20 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: Exposure to manganese at levels common in groundwater is associated with intellectual impairment in children, and is more strongly associated with Performance IQ than Verbal IQ.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hair manganese and hyperactive behaviors: pilot study of school-age children exposed through tap water.

Maryse F. Bouchard, +4 more
- 03 Oct 2006 - 
TL;DR: The hypothesis that greater exposure to Mn via drinking water would be reflected in higher Mn content in hair which, in turn, would be associated with increased level of hyperactive behaviors is tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nervous system dysfunction among workers with long-term exposure to manganese

Donna Mergler, +8 more
- 01 Feb 1994 - 
TL;DR: Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis of variance revealed that the pairs differed on symptom reporting, emotional state, motor functions, cognitive flexibility, and olfactory perception threshold, which is consistent with current knowledge on brain Mn activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurotoxic Effects of Low-Level Methylmercury Contamination in the Amazonian Basin

Jean Lebel, +6 more
- 01 Oct 1998 - 
TL;DR: Results suggest dose-dependent nervous system alterations at hair mercury levels below 50 micrograms/g, previously considered a threshold for clinical effects, are suggested and are consistent with the current knowledge on methyl-mercury poisoning.
