How Much Mercury Is Too Much

What are the minimal risk levels (MRL) for mercury exposure?

An MRL is an estimate of the daily human exposure to a hazardous substance that is likely to be without appreciable risk of adverse non-cancer health effects over a specified duration of exposure.

The Bottom Line

Mercuric chloride (oral)

  • Acute: 0.007 mg/kg/day
  • Intermediate: 0.002 mg/kg/day

Mercury (inhalation)

  • Chronic: 0.0002 mg/m3 (milligrams per cubic meter of air)

'''IMPORTANT'''
Our Jerome readings ranged from about 15 micrograms per cubic meter to over 200 for persons with amalgam in their mouths. The number above (0.0002 mg/m3 = milligrams/cubic meter) translates to .2 (point-two) micrograms per cubic meter.
