Mercury is absorbed through intact human skin in toxicologically meaningful amounts.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that mercury is absorbed through intact human skin in toxicologically meaningful amounts?

Unclear. Three sources indicate mercury or mercury compounds can pass through skin: a cosmetics review says metals in cosmetics may be absorbed through skin into blood, a teratology review says methylmercury is efficiently absorbed through skin, and a dental study says elemental mercury is absorbed by dental professionals through direct skin contact. None quantifies absorbed amounts or establishes toxicologically meaningful systemic exposure from intact skin.
