For quite some time, we have known that high concentrations of mercury can be toxic to humans; the first account of mercury poisoning was recorded as early as 50 B.C. Today, we recognize that mercury is a neurotoxin and that high levels of exposure can lead to serious illness and, in extreme cases, death. 1, record 1, English, - mercury%20poisoning

Nous savons depuis longtemps que des concentrations élevées de mercure peuvent être toxiques pour l'homme; le premier cas recensé d'empoisonnement par le mercure a eu lieu en 50 avant J.-C. Aujourd'hui, le mercure représente pour nous une neurotoxine et nous savons que l'exposition à un niveau élevé de mercure peut causer de graves maladies et, dans les cas extrêmes, la mort. 4, record 1, French, - intoxication%20au%20mercure

Intoxication chronique. Il s'agit essentiellement de l'intoxication professionnelle, résultant de l'inhalation des vapeurs de mercure. On peut distinguer deux types d'intoxication mercurielle chronique: premièrement, une forme micro-mercurielle et, deuxièmement, une forme que nous pourrions qualifier de "standard". Rappelons ici, qu'en tous pays, la forme la plus fréquemment observée est celle que nous avons dénommée "micromercurialisme". Les symptômes du micromercurialisme sont les suivants: hémicrânies, affaiblissement de la mémoire, diminution des capacités intellectuelles, somnolence (...) 1, record 2, French, - micromercurialisme
