  1. *Mercury binds to selenium with extraordinarily high affinity. Available evidence indicates that assessments of mercury exposure and tissue levels need to consider selenium intakes and tissue distributions to provide meaningful risk evaluations. Therefore, plasma Se2+ was analyzed to further characterize the study population and susceptibility to the mercury exposure
