Human and crab exposure to mercury in the Caribbean coastal shoreline of Colombia: impact from an abandoned chlor-alkali plant
J Olivero-Verbel, B Johnson-Restrepo… - Environment …, 2008 - Elsevier
Human hair samples from male and female people aged 6–85 years, as well as muscle of
crabs (Callinectes sapidus and Callinectes bocourti) were collected from different fishing
places along the Caribbean coastal shoreline of Colombia and analyzed for total mercury (T-
Hg) in order to establish the impact of mercury-polluted sediments in Cartagena bay on the
ecosystem. Hair T-Hg in inhabitants varied between 0.1 and 21.8 μg/g, with average and
median of 1.52 μg/g and 1.1 μg/g, respectively. Differences between sampling locations …
