Statement on the findings presented in the Toxicological Profile for Mercury issued by the US ATSDR.

In these analyses, maternal hair mercury concentrations were inversely associated with the Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) 27 at 30 months; however, without adjustment for AA and DHA, the association did not reach statistical significance. 28 Based on a subsequent reanalysis of the same cohort data from the Seychelles Nutrition Cohort (Lynch et al., 2011 ), the CONTAM Panel (EFSA CONTAM Panel, 2012 ) concluded that at maternal hair mercury concentrations above approximately 11 mg/kg, ‘ the beneficial effects associated with maternal n‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n‐3 LCPUFAs) 29 no longer outweighed adverse associations with methylmercury exposure ’.
