Description

Many of the toxic effects of mercury are partially or wholly reversible, either through specific therapy or through natural elimination of the metal after exposure has been discontinued. However, heavy or prolonged exposure can do irreversible damage, particularly in fetuses, infants, and young children. Young's syndrome is believed to be a long term consequence of early childhood mercury poisoning. Thiomersal, a preservative that contains mercury, has been added to vaccines to prevent their deterioration since the 1930s It is only now that the hazards associated with this element have been recognised. It affects the central nervous system, kidney and liver, and also affects the ability to feel, see, touch and move. According to the USEPA, medical waste incinerators are a large source of mercury in the environment.
