Opis

Mary Hammond examines the ways in which increasing levels of mercury in the environment may be harming your emotional well-being in a book which traces the impact of mercury on mankind from the earliest days of its use to the proposal of the Minamata Convention on Mercury, a global agreement which was signed into law shortly after the book's publication. High levels of mercury exposure can cause profound neurological problems resulting in physical problems ranging from pain to loss of sensation and function, but at lower levels of exposure physical problems are often preceded by emotional and behavioral disturbances for significant lengths of time. These emotional disturbances range from profound nervousness in the presence of strangers, the inability to perform naturally if observed, the inability to control anger, and deep depression with an increased tendency to suicide. If you suffer from social anxiety, you owe it to yourself to educate yourself about increasing levels of mercury in the environment.
