In the present study we described mercury (Hg) exposure evolution in two riverside communities of Tapajos River Basin, Brazilian Amazon. These communities are exposed to this metal by the consumption of fishes that they fishing from the contaminated river. The contamination is due to a process that occurs mainly due to the weathering of soil in the area (which is naturally rich in Hg) and gold mining, that uses mercury to isolate the gold. The analysis used a dosimetric database containing values of mercury, wich was generated from hair samples of the riversides from Tapajos. The data collection was conducted for 17 years (1998-2014) and totaled 1.502 (one thousand, five hundred two) samples, which were divided into four groups: adult male,...
