The government agencies recently called on the participation of their
partners in government and civil society for an awareness raising
seminar with planning and workshop to address the concerns involving
the alleged trade and use of mercury in Tabuk City.
Mercury is considered one of the most toxic chemicals, as it could
enter the human body by breathing its vapors and through consumption of
contaminated food.
Effects include damage to the brain, kidney, and lungs and acquiring
diseases like Acrodynia (pink disease), Hunter-Russell Syndrome, and
Minamata Disease.
