[Mercury levels found in fishermen of Lake Geneva].
This paper presents an evaluation of the mercury levels found in a population eating principally fish coming from the Lake of Geneva. A good correlation exists between the blood mercury level and the amount of fish ingested weekly. Interpretation of the results shows that the threshold of fish comsumption should be about 1.4 kg per week and per person.
