Abstract: The present study evaluated Hg and MeHg content in hair samples of 201 children 2 to 7 years old, living in six neighborhoods of the city of Manaus, Amazonas State, Brazil. In general, the total Hg and MeHg median ranges in hair were similar (0.91 to 1.71 mg kg -1 ) except for the São Jose neighborhood, which was lower (0.16 mg kg -1 ). De spite the fact that the Manaus population consumes fish as part of the normal dietary intake, the Hg hair levels were below the level for an adult population not exposed to … Show more

“…There was a predominance of studies that were performed in the State of Pará (47%) [ 22 , 23 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 29 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 42 , 43 , 45 , 47 , 48 ]. Some studies had been performed in the State of Amazonas (22%) [ 17 , 19 , 24 , 30 , 33 , 41 , 44 , 49 ], Rondônia (14%) [ 18 , 28 , 46 , 50 , 51 ], Mato Grosso (8%) [ 21 , 31 , 32 ] and Amapá (3%) [ 20 ]. Two studies were performed using samples from populations from two different States: Pará and Rondônia (3%) [ 16 ] and Rondônia and Amazonas (3%) [ 34 ].…”

“…The mean of the T-Hg value reported here (7.7 µg/g) was below that registered for indigenous communities living at the upper Tapajos River basin (14.7 µg/g) [67]. Nevertheless, it was above those found in other Amazonian municipalities where artisanal gold extraction has been established as the primary source of Hg-contamination, such as Belmont (Rondônia) (2.71 µg/g), Cunia (Rondônia) (0.9 µg/g) [114], Novo Airão (Amazonas) (5.67 µg/g) [115], Porto Velho (Rondônia) (0.60 µg/g) [116], and Manaus (Amazonas) (1.93 µg/g) [117].…”

“…Experimental evidence shows that MeHg neurotoxicity is marked by an increase in oxidative stress, by the presence of mitochondrial lesions, by the release of excitatory amino acids, and by proteomic expression alterations, which can lead to cellular dysfunction and death [ 34 , 35 , 36 ]. Furthermore, the chronic exposure to high levels of MeHg has been associated with memory and learning deficits, motor function abnormalities, hearing loss, and a reduced visual field [ 3 , 20 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ].…”
