초록

This study was conducted to investigate the reference value of mercury (Hg) in liver and kidney of Koreanpopulation. The mercury concentration in 244 udden and unexpected deathautopsies (male: 180, female: 64)aged from 0 to 87 years was analyzed. The concentration of mercury was measured by atomic absorption spec-trophotometer(Perkin-Elmer Model 5100) with mercury/hydride generating system(FIAS 400).The contents of mercury in liver and kidney fitted well the log-normal distribution rather than normal distri-bution. Geometric mean concentration of mercury in liver and kidney was 0.115g/g wet weight and 0.149g/g wet weight, respectively. Geometric mean concentration of mercury in female was higher than in male(p0.01). The mercury content in liver and kidney increased with age up to the forties and slightly decreased there-after. The regression model of mercury deposit in liver and kidney by age was predicted as the followingequation : Log LHg =-1.0576± 0.0045Age-0.0001Age2± 0.0873Sex, Log KHg =-1.0576±0.0152Age-0.0002Age2± 0.1935Sex. The liver burden of mercury was estimated to be 158.3161.3g in male and 163.0166.9g in female. The kidney burden of mercury was estimated to be 42.042.9gin male and 55.557.1g in female
