The study focuses on assessing the dangers associated with mercury for the indigenous populations of the Upper Xingu, in the Brazilian Amazon, who consume fish from regions affected by illegal mining activity. The results highlight the existence of significant risks compared with established standards. As a suggestion, there is a crucial need to implement more stringent measures to reduce mercury contamination of fish and promote healthy and sustainable food choices among indigenous communities. Details are presented in the Article Assessment of the Health Risk of Indigenous People by the Consumption of Fish with Hg and As in Villages Located Close to Mining by Luciano V. D. da Silva, Simone F. P. Pereira, Cristiane C. Carneiro, Thiago M. e Silva, Ronaldo M. Rocha, Hemilton C. da Costa, Cleber S. e Silva, Alan M. F. de Souza and Maria L. S. da Silva on page 1796.
