Temporal variability of blood lead, mercury, and cadmium levels in elderly panel study (2008-2014).
The extent of mercury (Hg) exposure among Saudi mothers and their respective infants
TLDR
Among the several biomarkers of Hg exposure, Hg levels in maternal hair and urine were the strongest predictors of infant exposure, suggesting that the infants were exposed to Hg predominately during pregnancy rather than during breastfeeding.

Blood Mercury Levels in Children with Kawasaki Disease and Disease Outcome
TLDR
The findings indicate that KD patients with lower sodium concentrations had a remarkably higher proportion of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance and juvenile Taiwanese had higher mercury concentration in blood compared to other populations.

TLDR
The blood Hg level in Korean adults is higher than that in USA and other Western countries, while it is similar to or lower than thatin other Asian countries, influenced by sociodemographic factors and individual lifestyles including dietary habits.

TLDR
In a fish-eating population, intake of MeHg via the diet has a marked impact on the MeHG concentration in the brain, while exposure to dental amalgam restorations increases the I-Hg concentrations in the head.

TLDR
