Mercury has been in use since the Classical Antiquity and is very widespread today owing to its mobility. Still today, enormous quantities of the toxic element are being emitted into the environment by human beings, especially in combustion reactions. Mercury bioaccumulates in the food chain and primarily organic compounds (for example methyl mercury) accumulate in fatty tissue and hence reach the food chain.
