Hair mercury levels and prenatal depression among pregnant women in multi-ethnic Suriname

Background: Pregnant women that are exposed to high levels of mercury may have an increased risk of adverse mental health conditions including post-partum depression. Mercury use for artisanal gold mining purposes in the interior of Suriname is alarming. The Caribbean Consortium for Research in Environmental and Occupational Health (CCREOH)-MekiTamara study assesses the influence of chemical and non-chemical stressors on 1000 mother/child dyads. This study aims to determine the association of mercury exposure and depression in Surinamese pregnant women.
