Environmental context. Mercury (Hg) occurs at high concentrations in Arctic marine wildlife,
posing a possible health risk to northern peoples who use these animals for food. We find …

Anthropogenic mercury (Hg) emissions have driven marked increases in Arctic Hg levels,
which are now being impacted by regional warming, with uncertain ecological …

Atmospheric deposition is the main input of mercury (Hg) to the ocean, even in remote
locations such as the Arctic. Furthermore, evasion of elemental Hg (Hg°) is the major sink for …

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 …

Abstract Mercury (Hg) in the Arctic Ocean is a concern due to unusually high concentrations
of monomethylmercury (MMHg) in fish and marine animals. Increased human exposure from …

The Arctic region forms a unique environment with specific physical, chemical, and
biological processes affecting mercury (Hg) cycles and limited anthropogenic Hg sources …

Mercury (Hg) is a contaminant of major concern in Arctic marine ecosystems. Decades of Hg
observations in marine biota from across the Canadian Arctic show generally higher …

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 …
