Total mercury (tHg) denotes the sum of all mercury species in a sample and is a common analytical quantity in routine food surveillance. Because the toxicity of dietary mercury is dominated by methylmercury, health-based interpretation usually requires either speciation or the assumption that a matrix-dependent fraction of total mercury is methylmercury. See methylmercury for the toxicologically primary page.
Ufelle & Barchowsky 2021 is attached to this analytical-quantity page as mercury-species context. The chapter reinforces why elemental mercury vapor, inorganic mercury, and methylmercury require separate interpretation even when a surveillance dataset reports total mercury.
Status
This page is a scaffold. EU 2023/915 total-mercury fish maximum levels have been routed, but the full mercury occurrence and methylmercury-fraction synthesis remains on the ingest queue.
Regulatory Limits
| Jurisdiction / Body | Type | Value | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| EU | Binding maximum levels in fishery products and molluscs | General crustaceans, molluscs, and muscle meat of fish 500 ug/kg; listed lower-mercury fish 300 ug/kg; listed higher-mercury fish including tuna, shark, swordfish, marlin, halibut, pike, and sturgeon 1000 ug/kg | eu2023-contaminants-maximum-levels |
Product interpretation still requires methylmercury caution: total mercury is the compliance analyte for many fish rows, but methylmercury is the primary dietary toxicology driver.
Planned sections
Analytical definition, relationship to methylmercury across matrices (linked to ingredients and products), regulatory limits where total mercury is the measurement instrument of record (linked to regulations), testing methods (linked to testing), and sources.
