Yes, Mercury (along with lead, arsenic, cadmium) as a heavy metal can cause birth defects, kidney failure, and central nervous system disorders. Most mercury which accumulates in the body has been related to consumption of large fish (tuna, swordfish) and air pollution from coal-fired power plants.
