He says 1-2 hours of sauna is equivalent to 50mg every 4 hours for a

day. I wonder where did he got this evidence

As I recall it was

J Occup Med. 1973 Jul;15(7):590-1.Links

Mercury exposure evaluations and their correlation with urine mercury

excretions. 4.

Elimination of mercury by sweating.

Lovejoy HB, Bell ZG Jr, Vizena TR.

if this is the right one (I dug it up on pubmed for convenience, no abstract

there) it was a

bunch of guys working at a chlor alkali plant the doc's convinced to wear rubber

boots

while working and collected the sweat, analyzed it for mercury and compared it

to urine

sample results. I used one as described from the 1970's to get the relevant

information.

If you know of any other data I'd love to see it.
