PPT-Mercury toxicity INTRODUCTION 

 Mercury exists in elemental inorganic and organic forms all of which may be toxic The toxic manifestation depends on the form of exposure This topic reviews sources of mercury exposure the clinical manifestations and the treatment and prevention of mercury toxicity. Metals. Essential* . Zinc. Copper. Iron. Chromium. Phosphorus. Selenium. Cobalt. *All metals are toxic in excess.. Neutral or detrimental. Tin. Bismuth. Boron. Barium. Antimony. *Arsenic. *Thallium. *Lead. Our group is researching, “Which . macroinvertebrate. has the most mercury when compared throughout the trophic pyramid?” . Macroinvertebrates. are insects without a backbone that can be seen with the naked eye.  Mercury is an element that can be found in water, air and soil or sediment. There is more than one specific type of mercury like inorganic, organic, elemental, and metallic (metal). Mercury can also give off toxic vapors which is dangerous for the environment because they are clear, odorless, and invisible, so we don’t even know they are evaporating because we can’t see or smell them. Mercury’s chemical symbol is Hg, which comes from the Latin word . Guey-Rong. . Sheu. Department of Atmospheric Sciences. National Central University. Jhong. -Li, Taiwan.

It is one of the most common diseases of toxic environmental origin and accounts for about 0.6% of the global burden of disease. Lead is a naturally occurring heavy metal found in the earth's crust. It is soft, malleable, and melts at a relatively low temperature. It is easily moulded and can be combined with other metals to form alloys..
