Like other toxic heavy metals, mercury contamination as low as 1-2 ppm could cause sudden death in panthers in Florida, All forms of mercury were toxic, especially their organic forms such as mono and dimethyl mercury which showed more poisonous effects to all living creatures including microorganisms.
