“…Elevated Hg concentrations in fish were found in hydropower reservoirs of North America and northern Europe in the late 1970s and early 1980s (Abernathy and Cumbie, 1977;Lodenius et al, 1983). Typically, several-fold increases in fish Hg concentration were detected at the first 5-10 years after the filling of reservoirs (Verdon et al, 1991;Bodaly et al, 2007). The sampling in this study was conducted just two years after TGR reached its maximum depth of impoundment and the "reservoir effect" of Hg contamination in TGR was not significant.…”

“…The Wayanas are a perfect example of a "fishing civilization," like Brazilian populations living in isolated villages on river banks or lake shores in the Amazon Basin: recent investigations on family members of fishermen from Duas Bocas Lake shore (State of Amapa, Brazil) show that most subjects reported taking 14 fish meals per week (16). Similar diets have been described among the Cree Indians in Northern Quebec, resulting in high levels of Hg impregnation due to the consumption of fish caught around hydroelectric reservoirs (27). The Food Agricultural Organization/ WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives recommends that the weekly intake not exceed 300 µg total Hg, with a maximum of 200 µg MMHg, which represents 3.3 µg/kg for a 60-kg male (5).…”

“…Os estudos de Lemier e colaboradores, na Amazônia, abordando o papel do Se com relação ao Hg, foram realizados na Região do Rio Tapajós, na Amazônia Central (Lemire et al, 2006;Lemire et al, 2008;Lemire et al, 2010;Lemire et al, 2011 Madeira, e onde se observa que as crianças com dieta nativa têm níveis maiores deste elemento que as crianças localizadas mais perto de áreas urbanas, com uma influência de alimentos industrializados na dieta (Rocha et al, 2014 (Grandjean et al, 1999;Cordier et al, 2002 Norte (Verdon et al, 1991;Rosenberg et al, 1997;Mailman et al, 2006 La Grande complexo hidroelétrico (Schetagne et al, 2000;Hylander et al, 2006).…”

“…Existem estudos que reportam, também, um incremento nas áreas à jusante de hidrelétricas, podendo atingir concentrações que representem um risco para a saúde das populações que dependem do consumo do peixe para sua subsistência (Verdon et al, 1991;Boudou et al, 2005;Hylander et al, 2006 (Veiga et al, 1994;Malm, 1998;Roulet et al, 1999;Wasserman et al, 2001;Lacerda e Malm, 2008).…”
