Randomized trial assesses exposure risks of atmospheric particulate-bound mercury in children, highlighting environmental impacts.
) for children from atmospheric PBM exceeded 1 during peak concentrations. Risks were significantly amplified during dust storm events, reaching levels 1.5-2 times higher than during non-dust events periods. This multi-year PBM dataset provides new regional evidence for mercury seasonality and exposure risk in Central Asia and highlights the importance of episodic events for protecting vulnerable populations.
