Based upon the analyzed samples it could be stated that although the analyses do not indicate acute risks of toxic effect of mercury on the human organisms, but findings of its content in foodstuffs approaching to the limit suggest that the examination should not be restricted or excluded from the diagnostic practice. In the future for optimization of protection of people, and especially children against the risk of an increased mercury concentration, it would be suitable to aim at the observation of milk and milk product samples being on the border of permitted limit. These measures and changes in food composition will ensure a decreases intake of mercury into the human organism, so its toxicity and harmfulness for the organisms will be reduced. Milk and milk products for their lower mercury concentration compared to other commodities (e,g, fish and fish products) are recommended for consumption as well as thy are suitable for the group of inhabitants permanently living in the regions contaminated with mercury in land /region of Middle Spis, above all Rudnany, Tomasovce, Kluknava), and worker exposed mercury for a long time (e.g. at chlorine production in Novaky).
