Toxicology of methylmercury

How to read discussions

Fact discussion: .
Opening statement: Is the toxicology of methylmercury known enough to get a reliable result?Needs editing

Closing statement: The method is a general way of doing these transformations, we can rely on this

(A closing statement, when resolved, should be updated to the main page.)

Argumentation:

⇤--1: . Is this variable toxicologically sound? --Olli 15:59, 17 September 2007 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: attack)

⇤--2: . The further research of this variable goes on --Olli 15:59, 17 September 2007 (EEST) (type: truth; paradigms: science: attack)
----1: . This toxicological approach is generally approved --Olli 13:34, 23 November 2010 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)

How to read discussions

Fact discussion: .
Opening statement: Author judgement about the chosen distribution should have a reference.

Closing statement: Accepted. In the case of MeHg ERF, it is Cohen et al 2005.

(A closing statement, when resolved, should be updated to the main page.)

Argumentation:

←--#: . Author judgement was part of the peer-reviewed study of Cohen JT, Bellinger DC, Shaywitz BA. A quantitative analysis of prenatal methyl mercury exposure and cognitive development. Am J Prev Med. 2005 Nov;29(4):353-65. They published the MeHg ERF estimate of triangular distribution (0, 0.7, 1.5) decrease of IQ points per 1 ug/g maternal hair. --Jouni (talk) 18:38, 15 October 2014 (UTC) (type: truth; paradigms: science: defence)

----1: . Justifiable procedure in author judgement would be to use name(s) of the author(s) used --> here e.g. (Leino O., 2007). Scientific information should always be citable. Maybe even a short rationale about the chosen distribution would be needed. (While proposing this, I understand this may seen trivial to someone. However, to my understanding reference issues the method will anyway face sooner or later.) --Anna Karjalainen 16:51, 20 November 2007 (EET) (type: truth; paradigms: science: comment)
