Seafood Hg Concentration Sources

US EPA recommended maximum daily intake of Hg = 0.1 µg per kg of body weight

DINNER MENU (all items are 0.55 lb)
0.55 lbs./(2.2 lbs./kg) = 0.25 kg / Mean Hg concentration (ppm = mg/kg) / Amount of Mercury for a 150lb person
Formula:
0.25kg*(mean Hg conc) mg/kg =
x mg Hg
x mg Hg(1000µg/1mg) =
amt of Hg in 150lb person (this is Y) / For a 150lb person, how much Hg above/below?
150 lbs./(2.2 lbs./kg) = 68.2 kg
68.2kg*0.1µg/kg = 6.82 µgHg per day
Y-6.82 µgHg / Source of Hg in food source
KUMAMOTO OYSTERS – Humboldt Bay / 0.013 / 0.25kg*0.013 mg/kg = 0.00325 mg Hg
= 0.00325 mg Hg (1000µg/1mg) = 3.25µg Hg / 3.25 – 6.82 µg Hg =
- 3.57 µg Hg (below limit) / Bay (industrial pollution)
SEARED RARE FRESH PACIFIC YELLOWFIN TUNA
Sushi rice, bok choy, seaweed salad / 0.325 / 0.25kg*0.325 mg/kg = 0.08125 mg Hg (1000µg/1mg) = 81.25µg Hg / 81.25 – 6.82 µg Hg = 74.43 µg Hg (above limit) / Ocean

FRESH LINE CAUGHT PACIFIC SWORDFISH / 0.976 / 0.25kg*0.976 mg/kg = 0.244 mg Hg (1000µg/1mg) = 244µg Hg / 244 – 6.82 µg Hg =
