The aim of the analysis was, in general, to find a way to summarise results of studies in search of exposure-response relationships and, in particular, to ask whether an exposure-response relationship can be ascertained for neurobehavioural studies on occupational mercury exposure. Eighteen studies dealing with human mercury exposure and examining 1,106 exposed and 1,105 control subjects were included in the analysis. Effect sizes were calculated for each of the single neuropsychological test results on cognitive and motor performance and were considered in relation to mean current concentrations of exposure.

A meta-analysis for neurobehavioural test results of subjects occupationally exposed to mercury was carried out in order to find general tendencies and express possible deficits numerically. Out of 44 studies investigating neurobehavioural functions of occupationally exposed individuals, 12 studies provided the data required and were included in the analysis. In all, 14 neuropsychological tests with 20 different tasks were analysed.
