Multifunctional lakes are highly susceptible to anthropogenic influences, potentially
introducing exogenous pollutants or nutrients into aquatic sediments. This, in turn, affects the …

Mercury (Hg) contamination in the environment is a persistent issue as emissions from
industry are ongoing and legacy cycling is prolonged. To quantify total mercury (total Hg) …

Methylmercury (MeHg) production in aquatic ecosystems is a global concern because of its
neurotoxic effect. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a crucial role in biogeochemical …

Black-odorous sediments provide ideal conditions for microbial mercury methylation.
However, the multiple effects of carbon, sulfur, and iron on the microbial methylmercury of …

The forest ecosystem is a significant pool for capturing atmospheric mercury (Hg) deposition,
with most Hg accumulating in forest soils. As secondary forests now dominate global forest …

Temporal trends for concentrations of mercury (Hg), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) were
evaluated from year 2000–2020 in 20 (Hg), 23 (Pb) and 11 (Cd) watercourses in remote …

Understanding sources of mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) to a water body is
critical for management but is often complicated by poorly characterized Hg inputs and in …

Mercury is a highly toxic element present in water, soil, air, and biota. Anthropogenic
activities, such as burning fossil fuels, mining, and deforestation, contribute to the presence …

Methylmercury (MeHg), the most toxic form of mercury (Hg), bioaccumulates in aquatic biota,
such as fish, and can ultimately cause permanent damage in the central nervous system …
