Cycling of mercury in the environment: Sources, fate, and human health implications: A review
Felix Beckers,Jörg Rinklebe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes recent recent studies on Hg toxicity and its effects on the human health through the consumption of contaminated fish and rice since methylmercury is a potent neurotoxin and elemental Hg vapor is harmful for the central nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomedical implications of heavy metals induced imbalances in redox systems.
TL;DR: The present review illustrates an account of the current knowledge about the effects of heavy metals induced oxidative stress as well as the possible remedies of metal toxicity through natural/synthetic antioxidants, which may render their effects by reducing the concentration of toxic metal(s).
