    Abstract


    The present study was the first study in Vietnam on assessment of exposure to mercury in seafoods for the population in Nha Trang. The shellfish consumption data were combined with mercury contamination data in seafoods by probabilistic analyses performed with @Risk international for Excel to estimate the mercury intake for six sub-population groups: men and women at 18-29, 30-54, and 55 and over years of age. The dietary intakes of mercury by the Nha Trang population groups were compared with the Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intakes (PTWI) of mercury (5mg/kg b.w/day). It was found that there was no risk concerning the levels of exposure of Nha Trang consumers to mercury due to the seafoods consumption.
