Total mercury and methylmercury levels in eggs from laying hens in a mining area in Bajo Cauca, Antioquia, Colombia

Total mercury and methylmercury levels in eggs from laying hens in a mining area in Bajo Cauca, Antioquia, Colombia

Thanks to their unique nutritional components, eggs constitute the source of nourishment for many people. Yet they can also absorb concentrations of several environmental contaminants. This study sought to assess the total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) levels in eggs of laying hens from one...
