This review critically evaluates the available mercury (Hg) data in Arctic marine biota and the
Inuit population against toxicity threshold values. In particular marine top predators exhibit …

BACKGROUND: Because of concern about the recently increasing levels of biological Hg in
some areas of the Arctic, we examined the literature concerning the long-term changes of …

Anthropogenic activities have led to large-scale mercury (Hg) pollution in the Arctic,,,,,. It has
been suggested that sea-salt-induced chemical cycling of Hg (through 'atmospheric mercury …

The increasing global prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment
is attributed to anthropogenic activities, particularly the misuse of antimicrobial drugs in …

The aim of this review is to provide a thorough overview of the health effects from the
complexed biomagnified mixture of long-range transported industrial organochlorines …

The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is among the Arctic species exposed to the highest
concentrations of long-range transported bioaccumulative contaminants, such as …

We develop a mechanistic global model of soil mercury storage and emissions that ties the
lifetime of mercury in soils to the lifetime of the organic carbon pools it is associated with. We …

Mercury in the Arctic is an important environmental and human health issue. The reliance of
Northern Peoples on traditional foods, such as marine mammals, for subsistence means that …

There has been increasing concern about mercury (Hg) levels in marine and freshwater
organisms in the Arctic, due to the importance of traditional country foods such as fish and …

This review summarizes data and information which have been generated on mercury (Hg)
in the marine environment of the Canadian Arctic since the previous Canadian Arctic …
