Acute Mercury Poisoning Revisited: Any Role for the Physician?

Ozgur Karcioglu and Banu Arslan

Mercury is a metal whose toxicity triggers neurological impairments at all ages, although the feti carry special risks. Mercury poisoning mostly occurs as a result of occupational accidents or attempted suicide. The bulk of evidence that addresses the health effects associated with long term postnatal mercury exposure is limited for all age groups. Public education on poisoning and the potential threats arising from mercury are of utmost importance for general well-being.
