Hair mercury levels increase with the amount of fish in the diet and the amount of mercury in the fish species consumed. If hair mercury levels in people throughout the world were monitored by a standard analytical procedure, the results would indicate locations where people's body burden of mercury is high enough to be subclinically unhealthy and where controls on environmental emissions might be beneficial. The relationship of hair mercury concentration to the method of sampling and analysis of hair, the analysis of the results, the amount of fish consumed, the country and location from which samples were taken and the age, sex and occupation of the donor is discussed.
头发中的汞含量会随着饮食中鱼类的摄入量以及所食用鱼类品种中的汞含量而增加。如果通过标准分析程序对全世界人群头发中的汞含量进行监测，结果将表明哪些地区人群体内的汞负荷高到足以处于亚临床不健康状态，以及哪些地区控制环境排放可能会有益处。本文还讨论了头发汞浓度与头发采样和分析方法、结果分析、鱼类消费量、采样的国家和地点以及样本捐赠者的年龄、性别和职业之间的关系。
