Abstract Since the last Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) effort to
review biological effects of mercury (Hg) on Arctic biota in 2011 and 2018, there has been a …

Monitoring mercury (Hg) levels in biota is considered an important objective for the
effectiveness evaluation of the Minamata Convention. While many studies have …

Mercury (Hg) is a globally important pollutant that can negatively impact metabolic,
endocrine and immune systems of marine biota. Seabirds are long-lived marine top …

To elucidate the sources and transfer of mercury (Hg) in terrestrial food chains, particularly in
heavily Hg-contaminated rice paddy ecosystems, we collected rice leaves, invertebrates …

An important provision of the Minamata Convention on Mercury is to monitor and evaluate
the effectiveness of the adopted measures and its implementation. Here, we describe for the …

As the “lungs of the city”, urban forests can improve air quality by absorbing air pollutants,
becoming hotspots for mercury (Hg) pollution from anthropogenic activities. However, the …

Embryonic exposure through maternally transferred pollutants can affect embryo vitality,
survival, and health. Reptiles face global declines and are sensitive to embryonic pollutant …

The robust application of stable mercury (Hg) isotopes for mercury source apportionment
and risk assessment necessitates the understanding of mass-dependent fractionation (MDF) …

Numerous toxicological studies have shown that ingestion of pesticides can induce
physiological stress in breeding birds, with adverse consequences on egg laying …

Deep ocean foraging northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) consume fish and
squid in remote depths of the North Pacific Ocean. Contaminants bioaccumulated from prey …
