Zusammenfassung:	Selenium (Se) has an antagonistic effect on the toxicity of mercury (Hg). This study aimed to investigate the influence of Se supplementation on Hg levels in long-term chronically exposed metropolitan residents in China. The levels of Se and Hg in human hair samples from 1373 metropolitan residents in China were analyzed and differences in sex, age, and region were evaluated. Higher concentrations of Hg were found in the hair of males, 60–74 years of age, and South and East Chinese residents. Participants with Se supplementation exhibited statistical lower hair Hg levels ( p
