Mercury is one of the most hazardous contaminants that may be present in the aquatic
environment, but its ecological and toxicological effects are strongly dependent on the …

In Walden, Thoreau1 noted that “the largest pond is as sensitive to atmospheric changes as
the globule of mercury in its tube”. Here, we consider the modern understanding of the …

Large volumes of produced water are generated and discharged to the coastal and ocean
waters worldwide from offshore oil and gas production facilities. There is concern that the …

This review summarises current knowledge on Hg species and their distribution in the
hydrosphere and gives typical concentration ranges in open ocean, coastal and estuarine …

Suspended particles are instrumental in controlling the reactivity, transport and biological
impacts of substances in aquatic environments, and provide a crucial link for chemical …

We examined temporal differences in sedimentary production of monomethylmercury
(MMHg) at three sites in Long Island Sound (LIS). Sediment-phase concentrations of Hg …

In situ experiments using isotopically labeled mercury species (199Hg (II) and Me201Hg)
are used to investigate mercury transformation mechanisms, such as methylation …

The METAALICUS (Mercury Experiment To Assess Atmospheric Loading In Canada and the
US) project is a whole ecosystem experiment designed to study the activity, mobility, and …

The objective of this study was to examine the redox reactions and other transformations of
mercury (Hg) species in surface waters, and the factors determining the rates of these …

In order to understand the biogeochemistry of mercury in the San Francisco Bay estuary,
California, we undertook a 2-year study of sediments and surface waters to investigate …
