Archives of environmental & occupational health.Arch Environ Occup Health.2015 Sep 3;70(5):297-302. doi: 10.1080/19338244.2014.904268.
A large-scale food poisoning caused by methylmercury was identified in Minamata, Japan, in the 1950s. The severe intrauterine exposure cases are well known, although the possible impact of low-to-moderate methylmercury exposure in utero are rarely investigated. We examined neurocognitive functions a

Severe methylmercury exposure occurred in Minamata, Japan. Only a limited number of epidemiological studies related to that exposure have been carried out. The evidence that methylmercury is cardiotoxic is very limited and these studies provide only minimal support for that hypothesis. We therefore

Neurological and Neurocognitive Functions from Intrauterine Methylmercury Exposure.

Yorifuji T1, Kado Y, Higa Diez M, Kishikawa T, Sanada S.
Archives of environmental & occupational health.Arch Environ Occup Health.2015 Aug 12:0. [Epub ahead of print]
In the 1950s, large-scale food poisoning caused by methylmercury was identified in Minamata, Japan. Although severe intrauterine exposure cases (i.e., congenital Minamata disease patients) are well known, possible impacts of methylmercury exposure in utero among residents, which is likely lower leve

… Results and Discussion: Two case reports of organic mercury (methylmercury) intoxication were published already in 1865 and 1866. … In 1930 several cases of organic mercury poisoning among workers engaged in acetoaldehyde production were reported. … These reports pointed out the toxic effects of organic mercury on the central nervous system, and indicated cleary that the causal substance of Minamata disease must be the organic mercury compounds (methylmercury) from the Chisso plant. …
