SLOW REACTION on regulation as methylmercury poisoning was first reported 150 years ago. “After the use of mercury fungicides in agriculture had been banned in 1966 in Sweden, a similar ban was instituted in 1970 in the United States, spurred by media reports. The first safety evaluation of methylmercury in fish took place in Sweden in 1968. In the United States, a permitted food mercury limit was already in use in 1970.””
