文摘

Prenatal exposure to low-level of methylmercury has a negative effect on fine motor skills in children at 18 months of age. Increase of methylmercury level in cord blood is in direct correlation with the decrease of fine motor skills. Cerebellum and its functions seems to be particularly affected by prenatal exposure to low level of methylmercury.
