The toxicology of mercury and its compounds.

A concentrated review on the toxicology of inorganic mercury together with an extensive review on the neurotoxicology of methylmercury is presented. The challenges of using inorganic mercury in dental amalgam are reviewed both regarding the occupational exposure and the possible health problems for the dental patients. The two remaining "mysteries" of methylmercury neurotoxicology are also bein...

Poisoning by methyl mercury compounds.

In 1940 Hunter and others, reporting on cases of poisoning by methyl mercury compounds, showed that those working with certain organic mercury derivatives are exposed to great danger. In 1945 Herner collated the cases of poisoning by alkyl mercury compounds recorded in' the literature. The seven cases hitherto published show a characteristic clinical picture beginning with a sensation of numbne...
