- Comment. The proposed ban would address elemental mercury, but the article talks about the organic form of mercury exposure, i.e., methylmercury. Consumer products containing elemental mercury are not likely to be the source of methylmercury exposure. Mercury deposition working its way up the food chain to, say, fish, is the most likely exposure route for methylmercury.
