Wild piscivorous fish, mammals, and birds may be at risk for elevated dietary methylmercury
intake and toxicity. In controlled feeding studies, the consumption of diets that contained Hg …

Mercury is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant known to accumulate in, and negatively
affect, fish-eating and oceanic bird species, and recently demonstrated to impact some …

Abstract Eastern North America receives elevated atmospheric mercury deposition from a
combination of local, regional, and global sources. Anthropogenic emissions originate …

Mercury (Hg) is well studied and research continues as our knowledge of its health risks
increases. One expanding area of research not well emphasized to date is the endocrine …

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 …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is the most biologically available and toxic form of mercury, and can
act as a powerful teratogen, neurotoxin and endocrine disruptor in vertebrates. However …

Methylmercury can impair the reproduction of fish-eating wildlife. We measured lake pH,
mercury (Hg) concentrations in small fish, blood Hg levels in adult male, female and juvenile …

Increased anthropogenic mercury (Hg) deposition since pre-industrial times, and
subsequent transformation of inorganic Hg to methylmercury (MeHg) in aquatic …

This paper reviews the current state of knowledge of the toxic effects of mercury on fish-
eating birds, mammals, and humans associated with freshwater ecosystems, including new …
