“…There are relatively few studies on the effect of moderate or low levels of maternal blood or cord blood/tissue mercury levels on birth outcomes such as birth weight, birth length, head circumference or gestational age ( Karagas et al, 2012 ) (Supplementary Table A1). Such studies have generally found no associations of maternal blood mercury with these outcomes ( Al-Saleh et al, 2014b ; Ding et al, 2013 ; Gundacker et al, 2010 , Lederman et al, 2008 , Lucas et al, 2004 , Wells et al, 2016 ), with a few exceptions, mainly negative associations with birthweight ( Lee et al, 2010 , Ramon et al, 2009 ). Some studies have also included data on maternal fish consumption in addition to maternal or cord blood mercury levels during pregnancy ( Al-Saleh et al, 2014a , Ding et al, 2013 ; Gundacker et al, 2010 , Lederman et al, 2008 , Lee et al, 2010 , Ramon et al, 2009 ), but few of these have stratified or adjusted for fish consumption ( Al-Saleh et al, 2014a , Lederman et al, 2008 , Ramon et al, 2009 ).…”
