A State-of-the-Science Review of Mercury Biomarkers in Human Populations Worldwide between 2000 and 2018 | Environmental Health Perspectives | Vol. 126, No. 10 » Background: The Minamata Convention on Mercury provided a mandate for action against global mercury pollution. However, our knowledge of mercury exposures is limited because there are many regions and subpopulations with little or no data. Objective: We aimed to increase worldwide understanding of human exposures to mercury by collecting, collating, and analyzing mercury concentrations in biomarker samples reported in the published scientific literature. Method: A systematic search of the peer-reviewed scientific literature was performed using three databases. A priori search strategy, eligibility criteria, and data extraction steps were used to identify relevant studies. Results: We collected 424,858 mercury biomarker measurements from 335,991 individuals represented in 312 articles from 75 countries. General background populations with insignificant exposures have blood, hair, and urine mercury levels that generally fall under 5μg/L, 2 μg/g, and 3 μg/L, respectively. We identified four populati Ehp.niehs.nih.gov
