 Hg compounds  are toxic to human beings and may cause permanent disorder when exposing in suffcient quantities and periods. Amalgamation  is a gold mining processing techniques with Hg as gold binding. Tailing waste still contain Hg. Discarding without removal treatment may contaminate soil and groundwater. This study determined the association of fish consumption and agricultural products consumption to blood Hg level. This was a cross-sectional study with 3-in consecutive-day recall to measure fish consumption and agricultural consumption. There was association between fish consumption (p=0,0001), staple consumption (p=0,002), vegetable consumption (p=0,001), tubers consumption (p=0,002), and fruits consumption and (p=0,002) with blood Hg levels.
