As a principal source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (3FAs), which provide vital health
benefits, fish consumption also comes with the additional benefit of being rich in diverse …

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 …

Anthropogenic activities have enriched mercury in the biosphere by at least a factor of three,
leading to increases in total mercury (Hg) in the surface ocean. However, the impacts on …

This report synthesizes and evaluates published scientific literature on the environmental
occurrence and biomagnification of mercury with emphasis on the San Francisco Bay Area …

A multiyear water quality performance study of a bioretention rain garden located along a
major urban transit corridor east of San Francisco Bay was conducted to assess the efficacy …

The San Francisco Bay–Delta Estuary watershed is a major source of freshwater for
California and a profoundly human-impacted environment. The water quality monitoring that …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a contaminant of global concern that bioaccumulates and
bioamagnifies in marine food webs. Lower trophic level fauna are important conduits of …

We analyzed eight sediment cores from wetland and subtidal locations around San
