| Abstract | James Bay Quebec Crees are exposed to methylmercury (MM) through fish consumption. Hair mercury concentrations were measured in women of child-bearing age and men and women 40 years of age and above in a small Cree Community of James Bay (with traditionally low exposure to MM) before and after fishing expeditions to inland lakes where fish were contaminated with methylmercury. |
