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 …

Methylmercury contamination of the environment is an important issue globally, and birds
are useful bioindicators for mercury monitoring programs. The available data on mercury …

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that affects human and ecosystem health. We synthesize
understanding of sources, atmosphere-land-ocean Hg dynamics and health effects, and …

Mercury pollution poses global human health and environmental risks. Although mercury is
naturally present in the environment, human activities, such as coal burning, have increased …

Although mercury (Hg) is toxic at all valence states, organic Hg, especially
monomethylmercury (MeHg, CH3Hg+, methylmercury), is more toxic than inorganic Hg (Hg …

Anthropogenic inputs of mercury (Hg) into the environment have significantly increased in
the past century. Concurrently, the availability of methylmercury (MeHg) in aquatic systems …

Biological mercury (Hg) hotspots were identified in the northeastern United States and
southeastern Canada using a data set of biotic Hg concentrations. Eight layers representing …

A large data set of over 4,700 records of avian mercury (Hg) levels in northeastern North
America was compiled and evaluated. As Hg emissions remain poorly regulated in the …

In this paper, we synthesize available information on the links between changes in
ecosystem loading of inorganic mercury (Hg) and levels of methylmercury (MeHg) in fish …

The status of the current knowledge concerning the dry deposition of atmospheric mercury,
including elemental gaseous mercury (Hg0), reactive gaseous mercury (RGM), and …
