ProblemOne

ThemeanvalueofmethylmercuryinbasssamplesoftheNeversinkReservoiris1300ug/kgandtheaverageweightofbassis0.7kg.Accordingtothesubject,peopleconsumenomorethanonefishpermonth.Forthesafetyofpeople,wemustconsiderthebioaccumulationofmethylmercuryundertheworstconditionthatpeopleabsorbthemaximumamountofmethylmercury.Therefore,weassumethatpeopleconsumeonefishpermonth.
Assumptions
●Theamountofmethylmercuryinfishisabsorbedcompletelyandinstantlybypeople.
●Theeliminationofmercuryisproportionaltotheamountremaining.
●Peopleabsorbfixedamountofmethylmercuryatfixedtermpermonth.
●Weassumethehalf-lifeofmethylmercuryinhumanbodyis69.3days.
Solutions
