A public health project to educate consumers about the risks of mercury in seafood. People can determine their exposure risk at GotMercury.Org with our free online mercury-in-seafood calculator. Women and children are at highest risk of mercury exposure. The FDA advises mothers, women of childbearing age, and children to stop eating swordfish, shark, tilefish, and king mackerel. Women and children should also reduce their tuna consumption. Mercury is a known neurotoxin that affects the brain and nervous system, especially in developing fetuses and young children. GotMercury.Org helps consumers make healthier seafood choices and advocates for warning signs in restaurants and supermarkets.
