Gender differences in the disposition and toxicity of metals
TL;DR: Gender differences in susceptibility at lower exposure are uncertain, but recent data indicate that cadmium has estrogenic effects and affect female offspring, and experimental data suggest that females are more susceptible to immunotoxic effects of lead.

Mercury exposure in children: a review.
S. Allen Counter,Leo H. Buchanan +1 more
TL;DR: Considerable attention was given in this review to pediatric methylmercury exposure and neurodevelopment because it is the most thoroughly investigated Hg species.

TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective cohort study of 341 mother-child pairs in Massachusetts enrolled in 1999-2002, the authors studied associations of maternal second-trimester fish intake and erythrocyte mercury levels with children's scores on the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) and Wide Range Assessment of Visual Motor Abilities (WRAVMA) at age 3 years.
Water Quality Criterion for the Protection of Human Health: Methylmercury
TL;DR: A human health Ambient Water Quality Criterion (AWQC) for the protection of human health was proposed in 2000 as discussed by the authors, which is the basis for the current AWQC.

Mercury levels in high-end consumers of fish.
Jane M Hightower,Dan H. Moore +1 more
TL;DR: A substantial fraction of patients in a 1-year period who came for an office visit in a private internal medicine practice in San Francisco, California, were evaluated for mercury excess and a high proportion had blood mercury levels exceeding the maximum level recommended by the U.S. EPA and National Academy of Sciences.

TL;DR: The effects on brain function associated with prenatal methylmercury exposure therefore appear widespread, and early dysfunction is detectable at exposure levels currently considered safe.

The Toxicology of Mercury
TL;DR: Methylmercury is a neurological poison affecting primarily brain tissue and at high doses can cause severe damage to the developing brain.

TL;DR: In the population studied, consumption of a diet high in ocean fish appears to pose no threat to developmental outcomes through 66 months of age.

Selective atomic-absorption determination of inorganic mercury and methylmercury in undigested biological samples
TL;DR: It was found that if 100 mg of tin(II) chloride alone were added instead of the tin( II) chloride-cadmium chloride reagent, only the release of inorganic mercury influenced the peak deflection of the potentiometer, thus permitting the selective determination of in organic mercury in the presence of methylmercury.
