Overview

This review analyzes mercury's toxicological mechanisms and health risks, highlighting crucial control strategies.

Key Points

  • Mercury exposure leads to significant health risks, including neuronal excitotoxicity and cardiovascular diseases.
  • Epidemiological evidence associates mercury with abnormal social behavior in offspring and elevated autoantibodies in autistic individuals.
  • Mercury disrupts molecular mechanisms like the thioredoxin system and the pentose phosphate pathway, causing mitochondrial damage.
  • Current pollution control technologies are effective but face challenges like secondary pollution and long implementation cycles.
