The biological properties of mercury are very important and include these characteristics:
Inhaled mercury is more dangerous than ingested mercury.
Human workers and handlers of mercury may become contaminated and mercury-diseased.
Elemental and inorganic mercury can be transformed to methylmercury (CH3Hg+) by some microbes.
Methylmercury (CH3Hg+) is very toxic.
Mercury accumulates in living organisms, cells, tissues, organs and organisms.
Mercury can damage immune cells and tissues, and organs such as brain, heart, kidneys, lungs.
Mercury can be concentrated in the environment and then magnified upwards along the food chain (bioaccumulation and biomagnification).
Mercury is particularly harmful to pregnant woman and nursing mothers, infants and young children.
All compounds of mercury, except those that are not soluble in water, are to be considered poisonous regardless of the manner of inhalation or ingestion (Hill and Kolb).
