伊拉克使用乙基汞(谷乐仁生-M)为杀菌剂拌浴谷物种子,由于村民不遵守注意事项,用这种拌药谷物来做面包。1956年和1960年发生过二次汞中毒。1972年初又发生了第三次中毒事件,而且比上两次更为严重。用谷乐仁生-M处理过的小麦烘成面包,处理过的大麦饲养家畜(主要是羊)。由于吃了被汞污染的面包,发生了和以前所报导相似的中毒,夺去了许多生命。 Iraq used ethylmercury (Gule Ren-Sheng-M) as a bactericide for bathing cereal seeds, which was used for bread as the villagers did not follow the precautionary measures. Secondary mercury poisoning occurred in 1956 and 1960. The third poisoning incident took place again in early 1972 and is more serious than the previous two. Dried wheat is roasted with grain Leren-M, and treated barley is used to feed livestock (mainly sheep). As a result of eating mercury contaminated bread, poisoning similar to previously reported has taken many lives.
