Human Biomonitoring (HB), the process for determining whether and to what extent
chemical substances penetrated our bodies, serves as a useful tool to quantify human …

In this chapter, we provide an overview of the basic principles of teratology, beginning with
its definition, the critical point for teratogenesis to occur and the most evident etiological …

We analysed the total mercury (Hg) accumulation in bodies and gut contents of 13 species
of marine wild fish, 7 species of wild freshwater fish and 4 species of farmed fish. In addition …

The aim of the study was to develop and validate a rapid method for the analysis of the total
Hg concentration in human hair, specifically, Eritrean hair. For total Hg determination, the …

Mercury (Hg) contamination of aquatic ecological units and subsequent bioaccumulation are
major environmental problems of international scope. Moreover, the biogeochemistry of Hg …

The toxicology of mercury (Hg) is of concern since this metal is ubiquitously distributed in the
environment, and living organisms are routinely exposed to Hg at low to high levels. The …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a contaminant present in fish which exerts a severe impact on
health predominantly exhibiting neurotoxicity that might irreversibly affect fetal …

The main source of mercury (Hg) exposure in the general population is fish. Another
possible source is dental amalgam. Here, we compare the levels of Hg and selenium (Se) in …

In this chapter, the authors aim to update an overview of the principles of teratology,
beginning with the definition of teratology, the critical point at which this process occurs, and …

Blood and urine are historically the most frequent matrices used for measuring chemical
levels in human biomonitoring studies. As biomonitoring programs are refreshed …
