What information was gathered and what did you learn on mercury?

Answer 1

Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that can have severe health effects, particularly on the nervous system, kidneys, and immune system. It exists in various forms, including elemental, inorganic, and organic (methylmercury), with the latter being the most harmful, often accumulating in fish and seafood. Environmental exposure can occur through industrial processes, mining, and the burning of fossil fuels. My research underscored the importance of monitoring mercury levels in ecosystems and the need for regulations to minimize exposure and protect public health.
