Mercury, Pregnant, Fish, NewbornAbstract
Mercury (Hg) is a metal that has a toxic and accumulative effect on the organism exposed by fish consumption and can pose risks to maternal and newborn health (NB). The aim of this study was to conduct a survey of the literature on mercury levels in pregnant and newborn women through fish consumption. An integrative literature review was conducted in the scientific databases, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) and PUBMED (National Library of Medicine - NLM). Ten primary studies published between 2018 and 2022 were included in the review, in English, Portuguese and Spanish, conducted in different countries. Studies show the possibility of pregnant women consuming fish with cumulative mercury exposure during their previous life and permanence during pregnancy. In addition, higher levels of Hg were observed than recommended by regulatory agencies; reiterating that fish, although essential for obtaining proteins and other nutrients, is the main form of exposure to toxic metal. In the evaluations of the NB, no reduction in weight and length at birth was found. It was concluded that pregnant women should be monitored and oriented regarding the frequency of fish consumption in the prenatal and postnatal periods when considering the cumulative effect of mercury and the inherent risk to the health of the mother and nb during the gestational period, especially in locations suggestive of Hg contamination.
