Proposed mercury criteria for the protection of sensitive aquatic organisms, birds, and mammals, as well as human health, are shown in Table 5.11. In almost every instance, these criteria are listed as concentrations of total mercury, with most, if not all, the mercury present as an organomercury species. In some cases the recommended criteria are routinely exceeded, as is the case for brown bears (Ursus arctos) in the Slovak Republic (Zilincar et al. 1992), and in Italian seafood products recommended for human consumption (Barghigiani and De Ranieri 1992). 

Finally, the responses of grizzly hear, Ursus arctos and polar bear, Ursus mar-itimus, to human menstrual odors during attacks on campers (Cushing, 1983) appears to be a form of eavesdropping, even though the intraspecific function of the odor in humans is not yet understood.
