The concentration of mercury, a toxic pollutant, in some yellowfin tuna is 354 mg in 1.0 × 10⁶ g of fish. The Food and Drug Administration recommends that women who are pregnant should eat no more than 6.02 oz of yellowfin tuna per week. How much mercury (in milligrams) would an individual ingest in one serving of fish?

The amount of mercury (in milligrams) an individual would ingest in one serving of fish is 0.06 mg

Conversion of 6.02 oz to grams (g)

1 oz = 28.35 g

Therefore,

6.02 oz = 6.02 × 28.35

6.02 oz = 170.667 g

Determination of the amount of mercury in 6.02 oz (i.e 170.667 g) of fish

1.0×10⁶ g of fish = 354 mg of mercury

Therefore,

170.667 g of fish = (170.667 × 354)/1.0×10⁶

170.667 g of fish = 0.06 mg of mercury

Thus, an individual will consume 0.06 mg of mercury in one serving of fish.
