Exposure to mercury – even small amounts – may cause serious health problems. Because of this, mercury is considered by the World Health Organization as one of the top ten chemicals or groups of chemicals of major public health concern. People are typically exposed to mercury when they eat fish and shellfish that contain the element.

Mercury is a naturally occurring element, and human activity is the main driver of mercury contamination.
