Review: Environmental exposure to mercury and its toxicopathologic implications for public health
TL;DR: This review discusses the sources of mercury and the potential for human exposure; its biogeochemical cycling in the environment; its systemic, immunotoxic, genotoxic/carcinogenic, and teratogenic health effects; and the dietary influences on its toxicity; as well as the important considerations in risk assessment and management of mercury poisoning.

The protective effect of small amounts of selenite in sublimate intoxication
J. Pařízek,Ivana Ošťádalová +1 more
TL;DR: L'injection de très petites quantités de sélénite de sodium, administrées simultanément ou 1 h après l'intoxication par le sublimé corrosif, en abaisse considérablement la toxicité survivent sous l'effet du sé lénite dans un % important.

Toxicology of selenium: A review
TL;DR: Selenium exerts a strong protective action against the poisoning effects of many heavy metals and of some organic toxicants in birds, mammals, and man and may also be a needed micronutrient for man, but the data are sparse.

Mercury-Selenium Correlations in Marine Mammals
TL;DR: The high levels in seal brain suggest that these animals are affected by the toxic action of methylmercury compounds, and the mechanism of binding of mercury to the tissues of seals may be different.

TL;DR: An approximately molar ratio for these elements in certain human organs following exposure to high levels of inorganic mercury is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury and selenium in marine mammals and birds.
TL;DR: The results indicate that the fate of methylmercury in fish-eating marine birds differs fundamentally from that in marine mammals, and it is suggested that marine mammals are able to detoxify methylcury by a specific chemical mechanism in which selenium is involved.
