Mercury effects on genetic material
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.33064/iycuaa2022863437Keywords:
mercury, effects, DNA, cancerAbstract
Mercury is a toxic metal of high environmental concern. This review shows the main mercury anthropogenic sources in the environment and the mercury contribution to oceans. In addition, studies evaluating damage to genetic material (e.g. deoxyribonucleic acid) from mercury exposure in humans were revised.
