Abstrakt: Mercury is ranked third behind lead and arsenic on the ATSDR/EPA priority list of hazardous substances (ATSDR 1997) based on toxicity and prevalence at contaminated sites. The hazardous effects of mercury initially became well known because of the major mercury-related accident that contaminated several humans in Minamata, Japan (Tsubaki and Irukayama 1977).
