Journal ArticleDOI
The role of thiols, dithiols, nutritional factors and interacting ligands in the toxicology of mercury.
TL;DR: The issue of diagnostic testing for chronic, historical or low dose mercury poisoning is considered including an analysis of the influence of ligand interactions and nutritional factors upon the accuracy of "chelation challenge" tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of the clinical toxicity of mercury.
Laszlo Magos,Thomas W. Clarkson +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to survey differences in human exposure and in the toxicology of different forms of mercury to study subclinical effects in population studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is dental amalgam safe for humans? The opinion of the scientific committee of the European Commission
TL;DR: It was claimed by the Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) in a report to the EU-Commission that "....no risks of adverse systemic effects exist and the current use of dental amalgam does not pose a risk of systemic disease..."
Journal ArticleDOI
Amalgam studies: disregarding basic principles of mercury toxicity.
TL;DR: A number of studies are methodically flawed drawing inaccurate conclusions as to the safety of dental amalgam, considering the newest findings on mercury toxicity and metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential adverse health effects of dental amalgam.
Amy M. Brownawell,Stanley Berent,Robert L. Brent,James V. Bruckner,John Doull,Eric Gershwin,Ronald D. Hood,Genevieve M. Matanoski,Raphael Rubin,Bernard Weiss,Meryl H. Karol +10 more
TL;DR: This review has uncovered no convincing evidence pointing to any adverse health effects that are attributable to dental amalgam restorations besides hypersensitivity in some individuals.

Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropsychological effects associated with exposure to mercury vapor among former chloralkali workers.
TL;DR: The presented results suggest a slight persistent effect of mercury vapor exposure on the central nervous system, mainly involving motor functions and attention, but also possibly related to the visual system.
Journal Article
Residual neurologic deficits 30 years after occupational exposure to elemental mercury.
TL;DR: It is suggested that substantial occupational mercury exposure can have long-term adverse effects on the peripheral nervous system detectable decades after cessation of exposure, and not observed for a measure of dementia or other measures of cognitive function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of low mercury vapour exposure on the thyroid function in chloralkali workers.
TL;DR: The study could indicate a slight effect of low mercury vapour exposure on the function of the enzyme type I iodothyronine deiodinase, possibly modified by comparatively low urinary iodine concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of dose, gender, and non-H-2 genes in murine mercury-induced autoimmunity.
Per Hultman,J.B Nielsen +1 more
TL;DR: The substantially lower whole body and organ mercury level needed to induce AFA in the A.SW strain, demonstrates that genetic factors outside the H-2 region, and not related to toxicokinetics, modifies the autoimmune response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multidisciplinary examination of patients with illness attributed to dental fillings.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that release of mercury from amalgam fillings is the cause of 'amalgam disease', but it is suggested that there may be various explanations for the patient's complaints.
