Abstract / Excerpt:

To the Editor:
In his Commentary [2017], Dr. Chakraborty stresses the potential hazards of low-level long-term exposure to mercury and the increase of prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease in the general population of India, a view we wholeheartedly endorse. We applaud the tenor of the piece (Chakraborty, 2017) and we have some additional points to make as well.
