“…Gil et al [5] found that an inhabitant of French Guiana was prescribed mercuric iodide (HgI 2 ) monthly for 2½ months and developed moderate fluctuating hypertension along with several other symptoms. Siblerud [8] found that individuals with mercury amalgam fillings had significantly higher blood pressure. Marek et al [12] noted that in a group of 147 workers producing chlorine, acetic aldehyde, and soda lye, occupational exposure to metallic mercury vapor might enhance the risk of hypertension and myocardial failure.…”

As a group, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. It killed twice as many people as infectious and parasitic disease and three times as many people as all forms of cancer. ere are other crucial risk factors next to the major risk factors identi�ed by the �ramingham Heart Study. In the last few years, detailed studies showed the correlation between environmental pollution and the development of CVD. e question, which environmental toxin is particularly harmful, is answered by CERCLA Priority List of Hazardous Substances with the following toxins: arsenic, lead, and mercury. e effect of these potential toxic metals on the development of cardiovascular diseases includes pathomechanisms as the accumulation of free radicals, damage of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, lipid peroxidation, and endocrine in�uences. is leads to the damage of vascular endothelium, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, and an increased mortality from cardiovascular diseases. e cardiovascular effects of arsenic, lead, and mercury exposure and its impact on cardiovascular mortality need to be included in the diagnosis and the treatment of CVD.

“…Many other toxic effects are reported (255), including cardiovascular (262), immune (248,255), and autoimmune effects (269 that they are not consumed by human enterprise and so continue to increase in the biosphere as we collect and process them (270); one review concludes that we have a growing problem of heavy metal toxicity (270). Cd is increasing in human tissue.…”

“…(Whether those not genetically susceptible could also be directly toxically affected by mercury is unknown; many widely divergent opinions and research reports have been published over the last few decades (247,248,(251)(252)(253)(254)(255)(256). Recent reports connect amalgams with oral cavity ill-health (248,257), increase in antibioticresistant bacteria in oral and intestinal cavities (258), multiple sclerosis (259,260), psychological complaints such as depression, excessive anger, and anxiety (261), and cardiovascular symptoms such as fatigue and high blood pressure (262).…”
