<P> In the United States , the EPA serves as an advisory organ to set the levels of mercury that are non-fatal in humans . Symptoms of exposure to high levels of methyl mercury include disturbed vision , hearing , and speech , lack of coordination , and muscle weakness . Medical studies have examined the correlation of fish consumption and health issues . American studies have presented evidence of fish consumption and its effects on child development . Longitudinal studies agree that human activities are what release and accumulate mercury in marine life . Addressing the issues of fish consumption forces health officials to recognize the sources of mercury in the human body . Specific Native American tribes are vulnerable to a high exposure of mercury . Studies have determined that these native peoples in the United States suffer more from mercury poisoning and illness than any other cohort group in the country . This is due to the fact that fish is a main source of protein . Exposure risk was assessed through a medical study , thus raising judicial issues of whether the public health of these groups is a priority in the United States . </P>
