What is the Role of Toxicological Research in Mercury Assessment?
Toxicological research plays a critical role in understanding mercury's health effects and informing policy decisions. Studies focus on elucidating the mechanisms of mercury toxicity, identifying biomarkers of exposure, and assessing the effectiveness of intervention strategies. Ongoing research is essential to address emerging concerns, such as the impact of climate change on mercury cycling and the potential effects of nanomaterials in mercury transformation and transport.
