Mercury emitted by industrial activities bioaccumulates in saltwater Tima as methylmer cury. The concentration of methylmercury in canned albacore tuna averages 30 x 10 g / 85 g of tuna. Determine the number of times per year when an individual (both male and female) can safely consume 110 g of canned albacore tuna. The reference dose is RD-1x10 mg/(kg-day).
