[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST oR0xd6iP. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Methylmercury in serum (S-MeHg) was assessed from serum concentrations of total (S-TotHg) and inorganic mercury (S-InoHg), determined by cold vapor-atomic absorption spectrometry. The samples were collected from 135 women on two occasions, in 1968-1969 and 1980-1981. In a subgroup of 29 women, an association was found between S-MeHg and the amount of fish consumed in 1968-1969 (r=0.38, P=0.04). The association was stronger (r=0.50 ; P=0.006) when the individuals'mean S-MeHg from 1968-1969 and 1980-1981 were plotted vs fish consumption 1968-1969. In the group, as a whole, there was an association between S-InoHg and number of dental amalgam surfaces, in both 1968-1969 (r=0.48, P=0.0001) and 1980-1981 (r=0.57, P
