Özet
Mercury (Hg) is a bioaccumulative toxic metal that poses a high risk for human and environmental health
through natural and anthropogenic emissions. Hg is an environmental toxic substance that causes neurological and
developmental problems in biological systems. Although the molecular mechanisms mediating Hg-induced
neurotoxicity are not fully understood, studies have shown that the oxidative stress created by this toxic substance has a
critical effect on neurotoxicity. The purpose of this review is to summarize and discuss experimental and
epidemiological studies that are important in elucidating oxidative damage to Hg and molecular events mediating
neurotoxicity
