The objective of this study was to evaluate mercury (Hg) levels in breast-milk in the postpartum 2nd month and to determine the relationship between Hg levels and sociodemographic parameters, maternal nutritional habits, presence of dental amalgam, maternal depression, maternal anemia, and growth status of infants. One hundred forty-four mothers residing in a suburban area in Ankara were invited at the 2nd month postpartum. A questionnaire concerning sociodemographic characteristics, vitamin intake during pregnancy and in the 2nd month postpartum, consumption of fish and viscera, smoking habits, and presence of dental fillings was applied. Hg could be detected in samples of 18% of the mothers, all levels of which were higher than the Hg limit in breast-milk reported by the World Health Organization. The Hg levels were higher in mothers who consumed viscera than in those who did not. Turkish women can still safely breastfeed their children, but Hg contamination in breast-milk should be monitored during the lactation period.
本研究的目的是评估产后第2个月母乳中的汞（Hg）水平，并确定汞水平与社会人口统计学参数、母亲营养习惯、牙科汞合金的存在、母亲抑郁、母亲贫血以及婴儿生长状况之间的关系。邀请了144名居住在安卡拉郊区的母亲在产后第2个月参与研究。应用了一份关于社会人口统计学特征、孕期和产后第2个月的维生素摄入量、鱼和内脏的消费量、吸烟习惯以及牙科填充物存在情况的问卷。在18%的母亲样本中检测到了汞，所有这些水平均高于世界卫生组织报告的母乳汞限量。食用内脏的母亲的汞水平高于未食用内脏的母亲。土耳其女性仍然可以安全地母乳喂养她们的孩子，但在哺乳期应监测母乳中的汞污染情况。
