Mercury Regulation and Standards

I made short of compilation, gathering information related to mercury regulation, standards, for its presence in water, fishes and other sites for many countries. However, I believe this information is extremely uncomplete. There is not much information I can find of mercury regulation in the internet, thus the information below is very limited to some countries. I will update if I find another mercury-related regulation for these and another countries. For the mean time, if you, the reader, have some information regarding this regulation, please kind share it with me, links, or info in pdf, your contribution would be much appreciated. Thank you.
