dc.description.abstractMercury (Hg) is a very toxic heavy metal that can permanently damage the brain of a developing fetus, particularly through maternal fish consumption. Being the highest seafood consumers in South East Asia, Malaysian mothers are probably at Hg exposure risk. Hence, this study was undertaken to assess the health risk associated with Hg from marine fish consumption and the types of fish that could possibly increase the exposure dose.
