Environmental contamination by a non-essential and non-beneficial, although potentially
toxic mercury (Hg), is becoming a great threat to the living organisms at a global scale …

Mapping of surface soil Hg concentrations, a priority pollutant, at continental scale is
important in order to identify hotspots of soil Hg distribution (eg mining or industrial pollution) …

Abstract [eng] Our paper reviews the current understanding of mercury in the environment of
soil and sediment, including sampling, mobilization phases and analyzing methods. As a …

Soils constitute the major reservoir of mercury (Hg) in terrestrial ecosystems, whose stability
may be threatened by wildfires. This research attempts to look at the effect of prescribed fire …

The current air pollution by SO 2 due to anthropogenic pressure in Poland was assessed
based on sulfur concentrations in pine needles (Pinus sylvestris L.). On 308 monitoring …

Atmospheric mercury (Hg) is largely assimilated by vegetation and subsequently transferred
to the soil by litterfall, which highlights the role of forests as one of the largest global Hg sinks …

The main objectives of this research were to (i) investigate the concentration;(ii) characterize
the distribution;(iii) determine the sources apportionment;(iv) estimate environmental and …

The soils and food webs associated with mid to high elevation, forested, headwater streams
in northeastern North America are potential hotspots for mercury (Hg) methylation and …

Forest areas are a primary sink of atmospheric mercury (Hg) within terrestrial ecosystems,
whereas forest vegetation plays a key role in atmospheric Hg transfer to soil horizons. This …

Rapid industrialization has led to high levels of mercury (Hg) releases from anthropogenic
sources in China. When deposited to terrestrial ecosystems, Hg has a high affinity for natural …
