Mercury

Mercury has the ability to affect the body at a cellular and biochemical level that may have larger, poorly understood health implications. The EU has banned this ingredient for use in cosmetics, Canada and the US have prohibited and restricted its use in cosmetics. There is strong evidence indicating health problems ranging from allergic reactions to an incapacity to fight disease and repair damaged tissue in the body. There is strong evidence showing mercury is a human nervous system toxicant meaning there is developmental and reproductive toxicity ranging from birth defects to development delays in children to infertility to organ cancers. There is strong evidence of neurotoxicity ranging from development delays to chronic nerve degeneration diseases. Also linked to organ system toxicity linking it to o toxicity of one or more biological systems in the body such as cardiovascular, stomach and digestive systems. The EPA states it is a known human respiratory toxicant. Mercury is linked to other health hazards such as cancer. There are environmental concerns, resisting normal breakdown in the environment; building up in wildlife, the food chain and people, lingering in body tissues for years and even decades after exposure.
