Abstract
Fish consumption is a major route of human exposure to mercury. Now, an analysis suggests that human activities have an important role in shaping geographic variations in total mercury and methylmercury concentrations in fish. Although managing mercury contamination is a global issue, local policies are important for more effective mercury management.
