| Résumé: | In 2000, the National Research Council (NRC), an arm of the National Academy of Sciences,
released a report entitled, "Toxicological Effects of Methylmercury." The overall conclusion of that
report was that, at levels of exposure in some fish- and marine mammal-consuming communities
(including those in the Faroe Islands and New Zealand), subtle but significant adverse effects on
neuropsychological development were occurring as a result of in utero exposure. Since the release
of that report, there has been continuing discussion of the public health relevance of current levels
of exposure to Methylmercury. Much of this discussion has been linked to the release of the most
recent longitudinal update of the Seychelles Island study. It has recently been posited that these
findings supercede those of the NRC committee, and that based on the Seychelles findings, there
is little or no risk of adverse neurodevelopmental effects at current levels of exposure. In this
commentary, members of the NRC committee address the conclusions from the NRC report in
light of the recent Seychelles data. We conclude that no evidence has emerged since the publication
of the NRC report that alters the findings of that report. |
