According to animal experiments, case reports and epidemiological studies, exposition to a high concentration of metallic mercury vapour may cause an increase in reproductive problems. A report on this matter is summarized here as far as it regards women. It seems warranted to conclude that negative reproductive effects are unlikely unless, due to a failing hygiene, the concentration of mercury vapour exceeds the MAC (maximum approved concentration) for women. However, the relationship between concentrations smaller than females' MAC value and problems with cycle and conception need more research.
根据动物实验、病例报告和流行病学研究，接触高浓度的金属汞蒸气可能会导致生殖问题增加。关于此事的一份报告在此就女性相关方面进行总结。似乎有理由得出这样的结论：除非由于卫生条件不佳，汞蒸气浓度超过女性的MAC（最大允许浓度），否则不太可能产生负面生殖影响。然而，低于女性MAC值的浓度与月经周期和受孕问题之间的关系需要更多研究。
