Conclusions. RV95s for urinary mercury, cadmium and lead in Riyadh samples expressed in g/l (g/g creatinine) were 2.5 (1.9), 1.2 (0.96) and 14 (10.8), respectively. The majority of the registered products originated from non-European countries, mainly the Cte dIvoire (29.70%). (2011). Check the label. Check with your local environmental, health, or solid waste agency for disposal instructions. Their use has been popular for decades among women throughout the world, mainly in Africa and Asia. Unithiol (2,3-dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid, DMPS) is the preferred antidote though succimer (dimercaptosuccinic acid, DMSA) has also been employed. Washam (2011) pointed out that the creams are still crossing the USA border despite FDA recalls prohibiting skin-lightening creams containing mercury. In Journal of Environmental and Public Health.

The mothers' blood methylmercury was inversely and significantly associated with their children's TONI Quotient (=0.231, 95%CI=8.184, 0.331). Exposure to mercury during pregnancy and after birth occurs commonly through food ingestion, inhalation of contaminated air, and through injection of Thimerosal-containing vaccines (TCVs); oral cholera vaccines also contain Thimerosal [1]. But, despite their widespread implementation, there are not many studies based on the behaviour of this plant growing in an areas affected by mercury. People also read lists articles that other readers of this article have read. Yet, the public continue to have access to these products. British Journal of Dermatology. The effect of using whitening creams that contain mercury in the community. However, the presence of Hg is of great concern because of potential adverse effects in the environment. Values in both matrices remained high even when potential factors such as secondhand smoking, dental amalgam, and/or fish consumption excluded. Chelation therapy is indicated in patients with features of mercury poisoning and elevated blood and/or urine mercury concentrations. 3) Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work. Furthermore, significant correlations were found between mercury concentration in all plant organs and Hg in sediments (both total and available). 5 Howick Place | London | SW1P 1WG.

FDA does not allow mercury in drugs or in cosmetics, except under very specific conditions where there are no other safe and effective preservatives available conditions that these products do not meet. It is known that prenatal, postnatal, and early childhood exposure to mercury or lead can cause infertility, fetal defects, disorders of the nervous system, and behavioral and concentration disorders (Al-Saleh, 2016; Caito and Aschner, 2017; Hon et al., 2017; Karita et al., 2016). In Journal of Biomedicine and Biotechnology. There is an urgent need to assess the adverse health effects of applying these products during pregnancy or lactation on child growth and development through birth cohort studies. In the years 20052018, of all violations regarding cosmetics, 26.3% concerned skin lightening products. The degree of dermal absorption varies with the skin integrity and lipid solubility of the vehicle in the cosmetic products.

We aimed to explore the relationship between the total blood mercury and infertility in 1796 selected participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (20132016). Mercury is a ubiquitous toxic heavy metal, and people are exposed to mercury by contact with contaminated food, water, air [6], skin-lightening creams [7], and amalgam dental fillings [8].
Although lead induced higher porphyrins excretion in urine (=0.347, 95%CI=0.107, 0.525), their interaction did not influence children's neurodevelopmental scores. According to a 2015 report by global industry analysts covering major geographic regions such as the USA, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific (China, India, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), and Rest of World (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/1056077/), the market for skin-lightening creams is projected to reach US$23.0 billion by 2020.

Until data from these studies are available, women should be advised not to use topical skin-lightening creams during pregnancy and lactation. He further stated that the public should be warned not to use such products, because their use can result in the systemic absorption and accumulation of mercury, leading to renal, The reproductive toxicity of mercury from inhalation, ingestion, and dental amalgam is well documented (Schuurs, 1999, Shen et al., 2000, Davis et al., 2001, Khan et al., 2004, Cole et al., 2006), but studies of toxicity after dermal exposure are still very limited. Mercury is a ubiquitous toxic heavy metal associated with an increased risk of female infertility; however, the evidence supporting this is limited and controversial. Whatever your complexion, its important to use products that will help your skin and not damage it. The kidneys are the major site of inorganic mercury deposition; renal damage includes reversible proteinuria, acute tubular necrosis and nephrotic syndrome. Early exposure of these children to mercury, methylmercury, and lead was assessed during lactation at 312 months old, as well as their mother's exposure using measurements from a cross-sectional study (20112013). From a legislative point of view, all cosmetic products containing a prohibited whitening agent are illegal and must be taken off the EU market. Estimation of the urine mercury concentration is the best marker of exposure to inorganic mercury and indicator of body burden.

If the words mercurous chloride, calomel, mercuric, mercurio, or mercury are listed on the label, mercury is in itand you should stop using the product immediately. The U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry has ranked it in the top three priority pollutants that have a great impact on human health [911]. Even though several studies have examined the reproductive and/or developmental consequences of gestational and lactational mercury exposure from fish consumption and/or dental amalgam, no studies have assessed the possible effects of the long-term use of mercury-containing skin-lightening products by women of childbearing age on their pregnancy outcome and childrens health. The main risk associated with these products is the content of hydroquinone, mercury, and clobetasol propionate. As mercury-containing cosmetic products can contaminate the home, some close household contacts were also reported to have elevated urine mercury concentrations.

When you use these products your family might breathe mercury vapors or might become exposed by using things like washcloths or towels contaminated with mercury. Management. 22 Harmful Symptoms of Mercury Overdose in Cosmetics and Skincare Products. These products usually are manufactured abroad and sold illegally in the United States, often in shops catering to the Latino, Asian, African, or Middle Eastern communities. The study area was along the Valdeazogues river which flows through the Almadn mining district (Ciudad Real, Spain) that is considered the largest mercury reservoir in the world. However, due to the time lag between the two studies, and since the Al-Kharj study was conducted 13 years ago, the most recent RV95s derived from the Riyadh study are recommended for Saudi women living in the Central region. Indeed, except for the upstream control site, the THg concentration in water is over the limit permitted by the Australian freshwater quality guideline for protection of 99% species (0.06gL1). In the present scenario, over 1 billion inhabitants lack access to freshwater. https://doi.org/10.17305/bjbms.2020.4759, Rhee, J., Vance, T. M., Lim, R., Christiani, D. C., Qureshi, A. Characteristics of mercury intoxication induced by skin-lightening products. ; ADRIANI, A. .
The RV95s for urinary mercury and cadmium were comparable to other countries, but lead requires closer attention. Spectrometric analysis of mercury content in 549 skin-lightening products: Is mercury toxicity a hidden global health hazard? Hg also occurs along with other neurotoxic elements in prenatal vitamins [4] and cosmetics [5]. How will you know if mercury is in the cosmetic, especially one thats marketed as anti-aging or skin lightening? To our knowledge, this study is the first to propose RV95s for mercury, cadmium, and lead in blood and urine of Saudi women of childbearing age, a population that is highly susceptible to the adverse health effects of these metals. This research aimed to determine the effects of mercury use in whitening creams for the general public.
