Dental amalgam fillings are composed of approximately 50% metallic mercury. Mercury is a toxin and has been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders in babies. Table 1 shows the relationship between mercury fillings and the concentration of mercury in the blood.

On the grid provided below, draw a bar chart to compare the concentration of mercury in maternal and foetal blood with the number of maternal amalgam fillings.
