Mercury is a potent neurotoxin for humans, particularly if the metal is in the form of
methylmercury. Mercury is widely distributed in aquatic ecosystems as a result of …

Management of Hg‐contaminated sites poses particular challenges because methylmercury
(MeHg), a potent bio‐accumulative neurotoxin, is formed in the environment, and …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is generally thought to lower metal bioavailability in aquatic
systems due to the formation of metal–DOM complexes that reduce free metal ion …

Mercuric Hg (II) species form complexes with natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) such
as humic acid (HA), and this binding is known to affect the chemical and biological …

Photochemical reduction of Hg (II) by various low-molecular-weight organic compounds
(LMWOC) was investigated to evaluate the effect of specific functional groups that are …

Predicting the bioavailability of inorganic mercury (Hg) to bacteria that produce the potent
bioaccumulative neurotoxin monomethylmercury remains one of the greatest challenges in …

Methylmercury is a neurotoxin that poses significant health risks to humans. Some
anaerobic sulphate-and iron-reducing bacteria can methylate oxidized forms of mercury …

Neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) formed from inorganic divalent mercury (HgII)
accumulates in aquatic biota and remains at high levels worldwide. It is poorly understood to …

Natural organic matter (NOM)-mediated redox cycling of elemental mercury Hg (0) and
mercuric Hg (II) is critically important in affecting inorganic mercury transformation and …

Methylmercury (MeHg) uptake by phytoplankton represents a key step in determining the
exposure risks of aquatic organisms and human beings to this potent neurotoxin …
