Abstract

Due to the domestic situation of China, the researches on health risk of mercury were limited. In this study, health risk of mercury for children in China (some regions) were assessed by intergrating the probabilities of both blood mercury and no observed adverse effect levels(NOAEL) in some parts of China. The health risk in most parts of China was in the range of 10^-7 to 10^-5, the risk in Songyuan and Changchun located at Dier Songhuajiang River basin were 2.24×10³ and 3.30×10⁵, respectively. Especially, residents in Guizhou mining areas were faced to risk as high as 6.87×10^-3. The health risk of mercury showed a regional characteristics.
