The environmental cycling of mercury (Hg) can be affected by natural and anthropogenic
perturbations. Of particular concern is how these disruptions increase mobilization of Hg …

Anthropogenic land use changes drive a range of infectious disease outbreaks and
emergence events and modify the transmission of endemic infections. These drivers include …

Mercury emissions from artisanal and small-scale gold mining throughout the Global South
exceed coal combustion as the largest global source of mercury. We examined mercury …

Mercury (Hg) is known as one of the major contaminants in the Amazon. The Tapajós River
basin, in the Brazilian Amazon, has diverse anthropogenic activities which increase Hg …

There is a large uncertainty in the estimate of global dry deposition of atmospheric mercury
(Hg). Hg deposition through litterfall represents an important input to terrestrial forest …

Rain forests represent the world's richest repository of terrestrial biodiversity, and play a
major role in regulating the global climate. They support the livelihoods of a substantial …

A multiscale modeling system that consists of a global chemical transport model (CTM) and
a nested continental CTM was used to simulate the global atmospheric fate and transport of …

Recent studies demonstrate a short 3–6-month atmospheric lifetime for mercury (Hg). This
implies Hg emissions are predominantly deposited within the same hemisphere in which …

In order to investigate the major sources and cycling of mercury in the Negro River Basin
(Amazon), total metal measurements were carried out in soils, in river and lake waters, in the …

Environmental mercury (Hg) contamination is a global concern requiring action at national
scales. Scientific understanding and regulatory policies are underpinned by global …
