第4章 化学物质应用的安全性.ppt

甲基汞是化学式为(CH3)Hg+的有机金属阳离子。对环境有生物累积毒害。无机汞离子在微生物的作用下，会转化为甲基汞，因此它很容易在河流和湖泊中发现，被湖中的鱼虾吞食后会累积毒素，经过食物链转化后，逐渐累积在人体大脑中。 * Bioaccumulation Methyl Mercury. The plants are eaten by fish and other aquatic life. When a little fish eats some algae, who eats the little fish? In water that has methylmercury in it, the bigger fish end up with larger amounts. * Food Chain Bioaccumulation in Humans. Who is at the top of the food chain? We are. If we eat large fish that have been contaminated with methylmercury, it will be absorbed by our bodies. All Animals including humans daily bioaccumulate many vital n
