What are the three forms of mercury?
Mercury is a naturally occurring element, first discovered in rocks and soil. Due to our use of mercury over many centuries, it has become quite common to find in oceans, and therefore we experience low levels of exposure all the time. There are three different forms of mercury, all with numerous uses in production and afflictions on the body.
Elemental mercury
Known as quicksilver, this form of mercury is well-known for its metallic and liquid appearance with an incredibly dense structure. It evaporates at room temperature or above, becoming an odourless, invisible vapour. Before strict regulations came into force in 2006, measuring products such as thermometers and barometers contained traces of mercury.
Organic mercury (Methylmercury)
This form of mercury is one of the most dangerous, also known as methylmercury. It exists naturally throughout the Earth, mostly in oceans. Fish often consume sediments with traces of mercury, becoming a part of the food chain once eaten by predatory fish. Methylmercury was also used in pesticides before regulations tightened.
Inorganic mercury
The most likely use for inorganic mercury is through chemical and industrial processes. It is used to create compounds such as caustic salt and chlorine gas and more recently utilised in skin-lightening creams in 2021.
The dangers of mercury exposure
Due to the various forms of mercury, each has a different effect on the body. It also depends on how the mercury was encountered, through either inhalation, ingestion, or touching. Pregnant women, infants, immunocompromised people, and elderly individuals are more at risk during exposure.

- Nosebleeds
- Chest pain

How does mercury exposure happen?
Most exposures occur in the workplace — also known as occupational exposures — but general encounters could still happen. This is due to consuming predatory fish, or shellfish, or breaking a fluorescent lightbulb.
Elemental mercury
Elemental mercury exposures occur in the workplace, like recycling facilities, smelting factories, or industrial sites. Inhalation is the most likely route for elemental mercury to inflict poisoning on the body. A spill transpires if mercury is stored incorrectly, or a product breaks.
Organic mercury (Methylmercury)
Methylmercury is found naturally in oceans, meaning fish and shellfish are sold and consumed with mercury traces inside them. Even though this is relatively harmless in small doses, large portions can be dangerous. Pregnant women should not eat barramundi, gemfish, orange roughy, shark, ray, swordfish, ling, and southern bluefin tuna.
Inorganic mercury
Inorganic mercury compounds for industrial processes contribute to chemical reactions, creating other components like chlorine gas and caustic soda. Most exposures occur when a device breaks and the element touches bare skin.
