Total mercury and methylmercury in fish fillets, water, and bed sediments from selected streams in the Delaware River basin, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, 1998-2001

Abstract

The NAWQA Program recognizes that a national assessment by a single program cannot address all water-resource issues of interest. External coordination at all levels is critical for a fully integrated understanding of watersheds and for cost-effective management, regulation, and conservation of our Nation's water resources. The Program, therefore, depends extensively on the advice, cooperation, and information from other Federal, State, interstate, Tribal, and local agencies, non-government organizations, industry, academia, and other stakeholder groups. The assistance and suggestions of all are greatly appreciated.

“…This bioaccumulation of mercury can lead to harmful effects on both human health and fish-eating species. 19 Excess mercury exposure can result in kidney failure, brain damage, and various illnesses. The toxicity of mercury is influenced by factors such as the level of exposure, the specific chemical form, and the individual's age, gender, genetics, and diet.…”
