Estimation of the Biological Half-Life of Methylmercury Using a Population Toxicokinetic Model

Estimation of the Biological Half-Life of Methylmercury Using a Population Toxicokinetic Model

Methylmercury is well known for causing adverse health effects in the brain and nervous system. Estimating the elimination constant derived from the biological half-life of methylmercury in the blood or hair is an important part of calculating guidelines for methylmercury intake. Thus, this study wa...
