We measured hair mercury concentration in Amerindians between 2004 and 2009 in Upper Maroni, French Guiana. Hair samples were collected from 387 residents (males: 153, females: 234). Average hair mercury concentration was high (males: 9.4 ppm, females: 9.9 ppm). We examined fish consumption by 37 residents. There was a significant correlation between hair mercury concentration and fish consumption. We also measured mercury concentration in polluted fish in upper reaches of the Maroni River. Muscle mercury concentrations were high in the fish. These results indicate that current high hair mercury concentrations in Amerindians remain linked to fish consumption.
我们于 2004 年至 2009 年在法属圭亚那上马罗尼河地区测量了美洲印第安人的头发汞浓度。从 387 名居民（男性：153 名，女性：234 名）中采集了头发样本。头发汞浓度平均值较高（男性：9.4ppm，女性：9.9ppm）。我们对 37 名居民的鱼类摄入量进行了检查。头发汞浓度与鱼类摄入量之间存在显著相关性。我们还测量了马罗尼河上游受污染鱼类中的汞浓度。鱼的肌肉汞浓度较高。这些结果表明，目前美洲印第安人的高头发汞浓度仍与鱼类消费有关。
