| Abstract | The majority of the participants had fished in the Everglades for years. However, they reported relatively low intake of fish and had low hair mercury levels compared with similar populations in prior studies. Although 71 percent of the participants knew of the State Health Advisories concerning the ingestion of mercury contaminated fish, this did not change their consumption habits. Statistical analysis revealed that recent (within six months) fish and wildlife consumption was not associated with hair mercury level. The second phase, due to a small number of participants, was unrevealing but provided a useful protocol for evaluating subclinical neurologic effects. |
