| | Mercury-General (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | Mercury concentration ratios in neonatal brain, lung, heart, kidney, plasma, and erythrocytes were much lower than those of maternal organs and tissues, with the exception of neonatal liver, which showed a mercury concentration twice as high as that of maternal liver. |
 | | The distribution of mercury within a fish is the result of the movement of mercury from the absorbing surfaces (gills, skin, and gastrointestinal tract), into the blood, then to the internal organs, and eventually either to the kidney or bile for recycling or elimination, or to muscle for long-term storage. |
 | | Mercury is concentrated in the sludges from sewage treatment by a factor of several hundred to several thousand over the levels initially present in the raw sewage. |
