Karen Elizabeth Wetterhahn was an American chemistry professor at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, specializing in exposure to toxic metals. She tragically died at the age of 48 due to mercury poisoning from an accidental exposure to the highly toxic organic compound dimethylmercury. The protective gloves she was wearing failed to provide adequate protection, and exposure to just a few drops of this chemical through the gloves proved fatal within less than a year.
