DIETARY INTAKE OF METHYLMERCURY AS A CORRELATE OF GESTATIONAL LENGTH AND BERTH WEIGHT AMONG NEWBORNS IN GREENLAND
Between January 1983 and December 1986, a total of 376 mothers living in Godthaab and Thule, Greenland, were asked about their average weekly intake of marine food. The blood methyimercury concentrations of mothers and offspring were measured. Mean methytmercury concentrations In Infants were found...
