The average mercury load in children under 7-years old was determined in a populated but not overly industrial coastal area in China.
395 blood samples, 1072 urine samples, and 581 hair samples were collected from 1076 children, aged 0 to 6 years, from eight representative communities of Xiamen, China. Mercury levels in the samples were surveyed.
The 95% upper limits of mercury in blood, urine, and hair for the children were 2.30, 1.50 and 2100.00 μg/kg, respectively. Levels tended to increase with age. Correlation analyses showed that mercury levels in blood and urine correlated with those in hair (n = 132), r = 0.49, p < 0.0001 and r = 0.20, p = 0.0008; however, blood mercury levels did not correlate with urine levels (n = 284), r = 0.07, p = 0.35.
Surveying the average mercury load in children 0 to 6 years, and the 95% upper limit value of mercury in their blood, urine, and hair should help guide risk assessment and health management for children.
在中国一个人口密集但工业化程度不过高的沿海地区测定7岁以下儿童的平均汞负荷量。
从中国厦门八个有代表性社区的1076名0至6岁儿童中采集了395份血样、1072份尿样和581份发样。对样本中的汞含量进行了检测。
这些儿童血液、尿液和头发中汞含量的95%上限分别为2.30、1.50和2100.00μg/kg。汞含量有随年龄增长而升高的趋势。相关性分析表明，血液和尿液中的汞含量与头发中的汞含量相关（n = 132），r = 0.49，p < 0.0001以及r = 0.20，p = 0.0008；然而，血汞水平与尿汞水平不相关（n = 284），r = 0.07，p = 0.35。
测定0至6岁儿童的平均汞负荷量以及他们血液、尿液和头发中汞含量的95%上限值应有助于指导儿童的风险评估和健康管理。
