RESULTS
Interim results for 70% of the study population have been received and analyzed. The mean Hg (μg/g) in the hair was 0.581 (0.117, 0.282 and 0.610 at 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles, respectively) and 16% fell above the recommended EPA known safe level of 1.0 μg/g Hg in hair (NRC, 2000). There was a significant correlation between increased MeHg levels and increased self-reported consumption of fish over the previous 30 days (Pearson Correlation R=0.210; p<0.01) and 60 days (Pearson Correlation R=0.207; p<0.01). Only 15.7% of the study population reported catching their own fish, while the majority purchased fish at a store (60.8%) and/or consumed fish at a restaurant (64.4%). No correlation was found between MeHg levels and knowledge about the fish advisory although people who caught fish were 2.7 times more likely to know about the fish advisory than people who did not consume fish (p<0.05), and 1.7 times more likely to know about the advisory than people who bought their fish at a store or restaurant (p<0.05).

ABSTRACT
Background - According to the U.S. EPA, nearly 75% of fish consumption advisories in the United States have been issued due to mercury contamination (U.S. EPA, 2003). Despite a significant reduction in the use and release of mercury from industrial processes since the 1970s, mercury contamination associated with increased fossil fuel combustion poses a growing contamination problem in many areas (U.S. EPA, 2000). The Southeast, and in particular the Gulf Coast, experiences the highest levels of mercury deposition in the U.S. (NADP, 2004), and the State of Florida issues fish consumption advisories due to mercury levels on varying fish species. Thus, the human population in the Florida Panhandle, near Pensacola, is potentially exposed to highly elevated levels of mercury, primarily through the consumption of regionally caught fish species. Many of the fish consumption surveys that have been issued in the U.S specifically target women of child bearing age because of the concerns that maternal intake of contaminants poses a major health risk to a developing fetus. The human nervous system is highly vulnerable to methyl mercury (MeHg), and exposure to high levels of MeHg during the last two trimesters of pregnancy produces documented neurodevelopment problems in children (McDowell et al., 2004). Biomonitoring of human hair for mercury is a useful indicator of exposure over extended periods of time and hair-mercury concentrations reflect longer-term averages than levels in the blood (Budtz-Jorgensen et al., 2004).

MATERIALS and METHODS
The study collected hair from approximately 600 participants (women 18-49 years old regardless of pregnancy status) from Santa Rosa and Escambia Counties, Florida. Only persons that had resided in the study area for at least one year and could give informed consent were included. Hair samples (approximately 100 strands of hair ~ 50 mg) were collected by trained staff, and sent to a certified analytical chemistry laboratory for analysis of mercury levels. In addition, each volunteer was interviewed regarding demographic information and recent fish consumption practices. Demographic data collected included residency zip code, race, gender, years of residency, age, and pregnancy status. A follow-up survey was given to the participants to allow for feedback and a satisfaction rating of the project. Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were run using SPSS version 12.0 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL).
CONCLUSIONS
The information gained through this biomonitoring program has established a baseline mercury data set that can be used in future studies to determine whether levels in the human population change in response to new environmental regulations. Local fishing populations appear to be better informed of state fish consumption advisories, although it did not decrease the amount of MeHg that was found in their hair. The data suggest that public health interventions such as education and fish advisories should be geared more towards pregnant women, who are at most risk. Public health education may need to be focused on fish markets and restaurants because the majority of the study population consumed their fish through those avenues and they were less likely to know about the fish advisory. Future studies should focus on species of fish consumed and a more detailed inventory of fish consumed to better understand the risk factors involved with elevated MeHg in this high risk subset of our population.
