The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Heavy Metals Toxicity and the Environment (2012, background): “Arachidonic acid has also been shown to be an important target of ROS [217].”
Phytotoxicity of Mercury in Plants: A Review (2012, methodology): “The high solubility in water and easiness with which Hg shifts to the gaseous phase [23] are two of the most important properties of this heavy metal.”
Human Exposure and Health Effects of Inorganic and Elemental Mercury (2012, background): “More recently, young women have used skin lightening products and cosmetics, which contain inorganic mercury compounds (discussed later) [3-5].”
The effects of heavy metals on human metabolism (2019, background): “Studies have shown that mercury ions have a high affinity for the protein in cells, leading to nonspecific inhibition and damage of cell enzyme systrms (Clarkson and Magos 2006).”
Environmental Mercury and Its Toxic Effects (2014, background): “7 to 42 μg/m(3)) can produce tremors, sleep disturbances, and impaired cognitive skills in workers [12,32,33].”
