methylmercury (MeHg). Common remediation strategies such as sediment dredging and …

Mercury is a risk in aquatic ecosystems when the metal is converted to methylmercury
(MeHg) and subsequently bioaccumulates in aquatic food webs. This risk can be difficult to …

Periphyton is ubiquitous in Florida Everglades and has a profound effect on mercury (Hg)
cycling. Enhanced methylmercury (MeHg) production in periphyton has been well …
