The mercury levels obtained were compared with mercury levels of 96 hair samples from a control group, in order to assess potential exposure to heavy metals of Sicilian fishermen due to fish consumption and closeness to industrial activities. Furthermore, the mercury levels obtained from hair samples were sorted by sampling area in order to verify the possible risks linked to the different locations. The overall mean concentration in the hair of the population of fishermen was 6.45 ± 7.03 μg g^-1，在Sciacca的渔夫中价值最高（16.48  μg g^-1）。渔民组的汞浓度显着高于对照组（ p < 0.01 ）。采样区域之间的头发总汞浓度没有显着差异（ p > 0.05 ）。这项研究的结果表明，与对照人群相比，由于鱼类的高消耗以及与暴露源的密切关系（港口，垃圾场等），西西里渔民暴露于汞的风险更大。SN -1565-3633 UR -https：//doi.org/10.1155/2016/5408014 do -10.1155/2016/2016/5408014 JF-生物无机化学和应用PB- Hindawi Publisting Corporation KW- ER- ER- ER- ER- ER- ER- ER- ER- ER-
