看看Mercury Study Report to Congress by United States Environmental Protection Agency. VOLUME V

Methylmercury has a relatively long biological half-life in humans; estimates range from
44 to 80 days.
2 说道:
Al-Shahristani and Shihab (1974) calculated a “biological half-life” of methylmercury in a study
of 48 male and female subjects who had ingested seed grain contaminated by organic mercurials. The
half-life ranged from
35 to 189 days with
a mean of 72 days; it was determined from distribution of mercury along head hair.
3 说道:
The blood half-life is
49–164 days in humans (Aberg et al. 1969;
4 说道:
Lactating individuals have a blood half-life of
42 days compared to
75 days for non-lactating females among a group of people who had consumed contaminated seed grain (Greenwood et al. 1978). This finding may be due to excretion of mercury via the milk, increased food intake by mothers (which enhances biliary excretion) and/or altered hormonal
patterns in lactating mothers (which affect the excretion pattern).
5 说道:
methylmercury has a relatively long half-life of approximately
70–80 days in the human body (Aberg et al. 1969; Bernard and Purdue 1984; Miettinen 1973).
6 说道:
Evidence from the Iraqi poisoning incident also showed that lactation decreased blood mercury clearance
half-times from
75 days in males and nonlactating females to 42 days in lactating females; the faster
clearance due to lactation was confirmed in mice (Greenwood et al. 1978).
