“…Several more recent studies from the Middle East provide comparative information but also lack details on the environmental conditions where the poultry or beef had been raised. A study of 400 poultry samples from local butcher shops in Egypt, by Elsharaway (2015), found average concentrations of THg in breast of 190 ± 8 μg/kg/wet weight, in thigh of 200 ± 16 μg/kg/wet weight, in liver of 340 ± 17 μg/kg/wet weight, and in gizzard of 280 ± 17 μg/kg/wet weight. A survey of THg in 20 poultry livers collected from markets in Erbil, Iraq, found an average of 110 ± 83 μg/kg/wet weight (Ali et al, 2020).…”

Much has been published about the harmful effects to humans when they are exposed to mercury (Hg) in environmental media including their diet. Numerous health advisories around the world, including for the South River, Virginia, USA, warn against consumption of Hg‐contaminated fish species. Fewer studies have focused on other dietary sources of Hg and how to advise humans potentially exposed by this route. In undertaking a human health risk assessment for the former DuPont facility in Waynesboro, Virginia, USA, and the nearby South River and surrounding watershed, the available published information on Hg exposure through dietary consumption of nonfish items proved unsuitable for extrapolation purposes. In response, an evaluation of potential Hg exposure to residents who might consume livestock, poultry, and wildlife raised or collected in the South River watershed was conducted to inform the risk‐assessment process. The newly collected data on Hg in these dietary items filled an important data gap, suggesting that there was little concern about limiting dietary consumption for most items. These results were communicated to the public through print and electronic platforms, in the form of “fact sheets.” We describe the studies and actions taken to better explain the potential for human exposures to Hg in nonfish dietary items from a portion of the watershed of the South River.
