According to a recent study, mercury contamination in 28.7% fish sampled from five regions in Amapa State, Brazil, exceeded the WHO’s safe limit for human consumption
Nearly one-third of the fish in the Brazilian Amazon state of Amapa have such high levels of mercury caused by illegal mining
The researchers sampled 428 fish from 18 sites across inland and coastal aquatic systems.
Researchers claim the level surpassed safety limits in 77.6 percent of carnivorous fish, 20 percent of omnivores and 2.4 percent of herbivores
Also, eating more than 200 grams of those species could be harmful to a person’s health
