通过对安克雷奇和育空-库斯科维姆三角洲38对母婴的脐带血、胎盘、母血、头发和牛奶中汞含量的测定，评估了爱斯基摩人饮食中天然汞积累的潜在危险。尽管汞含量没有明显的危险，但孕妇和胎儿的红细胞和胎盘组织在靠近大海的地方积累更多的趋势，以及怀孕期间食用海豹的情况，为考虑新生儿参与的可能指标提供了基础。脐带血红细胞中的汞水平似乎是这种参与的最好的潜在指标，尽管与母亲的饮食和胎盘中的汞水平的关系似乎也很有用。在这一地区，脐带血中汞的平均水平和最高水平分别为39和78 ng/ml，远低于这些在怀孕期间每天吃海豹或鱼的母亲的婴儿公认的有毒水平。
The potential danger of natural mercury accumulation in the diet of the Eskimo is evaluated through mercury levels determined in cord blood, placenta, maternal blood, hair, and milk of 38 maternal-infant pairs from Anchorage and the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Although mercury levels are not discernably dangerous, trends to larger accumulations in maternal and fetal RBC and placental tissue with proximity to the sea and consumption of seals during pregnancy provide the basis for considering possible indicators of neonatal involvement. Mercury level in RBC from cord blood appeared as the best potential indicator of this involvement, although relationships with the mother's diet and level of mercury in the placenta also appear useful. In this area, average and maximal mercury levels in cord blood are 39 and 78 ng/ml, respectively, far below the acknowledged toxic level in infants of these mothers who eat seals or fish every day during their pregnancy.
