Welcome to the June issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter.
Last month we mentioned that the 2013 Minamata Convention on Mercury, fails to include mercury-containing vaccines, responsible for a direct exposure of humans to the highly toxic organomercury compound Thimerosal. Pharmaceuticals were excluded from the Convention, and the WHO was one of the strong organizations fighting for such exclusion. The U.S. Center of Disease Control (CDC) states on its website that "low
doses of thimerosal in vaccines do not cause harm, and are only
associated with minor local injection site reactions like redness and
swelling at the injection site". A paper published in the journal BioMed Research International
now provides direct evidence that the CDC's safety assurances about the
mercury-containing preservative are not fact-based, according to the
article's lead author, Brian Hooker, PhD. (see the news below).
Another exposure route for organomercury is the consumption of seafood. Consumer protection and environmental advocates filed a lawsuit in federal district court against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for failing to respond to a July 2011 petition in which the groups asked the FDA to give consumers clear, accurate and accessible information about toxic mercury in the seafood they eat. Now the FDA updates its advice for consumers (see the news below).

Methylmercury in fish: FDA updates its advice for consumers
The head of the Food and Drug Administration announced that new guidelines are coming about mercury in seafood but they’ll be an advisory, not a mandate and won’t require mercury labels on seafood packages.
