Primes¶
- Bioaccumulation
- Methylmercury biomagnification in aquatic food webs: Industrial and natural mercury enters aquatic systems via atmospheric deposition and waste discharge, and the resulting human health profile was synthesized by Mergler, Anderson, Chan, Mahaffey, Murray, Sakamoto, and Stern (2007) in their consensus review of methylmercury exposure and health effects.
This sourceConsensus panel review of global evidence on methylmercury bioaccumulation in aquatic food webs and resulting human health effects.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The review's abstract confirms MeHg bioaccumulation and concentration up the aquatic food chain and the panel's consensus on human health, but says nothing of mercury arriving via atmospheric deposition or waste discharge.
“Methylmercury is a potent toxin, bioaccumulated and concentrated through the aquatic food chain, placing at risk people, throughout the globe and across the socioeconomic spectrum, who consume predatory fish or for whom fish is a dietary mainstay.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not confirmed. The DOI recorded for this work did not resolve when it was last checked, so it is shown above but not linked. The citation may still be sound; the recorded identifier is not. Flagged for repair.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
