Long-range transport and residence time of elemental Hg (Hg°) in air promote global
dispersion and deposition in remote ecosystems. Many biotic and abiotic factors contribute …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a neurotoxin, mainly derived from microbial mercury methylation in
natural aquatic environments, and poses threats to human health. Polar regions and paddy …

Mercury (Hg) is one of the few metals known to accumulate through food webs to
concentrations that are much higher in upper trophic level organisms than those in primary …

Svalbard is an important study area for investigating the long-range transport of mercury
(Hg) and other trace elements to the Arctic. Few studies have focused on their …

The most important mercury species in the environment is monomethylmercury (MMHg), the
topic of this chapter. This organic mercury compound is normally not released into the …

Environmental context Mercury, in its methylated form, is a neurotoxin that biomagnifies in
marine and terrestrial foodwebs leading to elevated levels in fish and fish-eating mammals …

Mercury is a global pollutant that can be transported over long distances and can
bioaccumulate. Currently, China is the country that contributes most to atmospheric Hg …

Long-range atmospheric transport and deposition are important sources of mercury (Hg) to
Arctic aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. We review here recent progress made in the study …

Mercury (Hg) methylation and demethylation is supposed to simultaneously exist in the
environment and form a cycle, which determines the net production of methylmercury …

The toxicities and bioavailabilities of total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in
aquatic systems have made them the subjects of recent research. In this study, we collected …
