With increasing input of neurotoxic mercury to environments as a result of anthropogenic
activity, it has become imperative to examine how mercury may enter biotic systems through …

Estuaries are sinks for mercury, in which the most toxic mercury form, neurotoxic
methylmercury (MeHg), is produced by mercury methylators and accumulates in estuarine …

Abstract Western North America is a region defined by extreme gradients in geomorphology
and climate, which support a diverse array of ecological communities and natural resources …

Methylmercury contamination of fish is a global threat to environmental health. Mercury (Hg)
monitoring programs are valuable for generating data that can be compiled for spatially …

Mercury (Hg) concentrations and isotopic compositions were examined in shallow-water
surface sediment (0–2cm) from San Francisco (SF) Bay to determine the extent to which …

Identification of sources of biologically accessible Hg is necessary to fully evaluate Hg
exposure in aquatic ecosystems. This study assesses the relationship between Hg in forage …

Mercury (Hg) used in gold amalgamation is a major source of contamination in developing
countries. Water, sediments, plankton, fish, and human samples from Grande Marsh, a Hg …

As part of a larger study of mercury (Hg) biogeochemistry and bioaccumulation in
agricultural (rice growing) and non-agricultural wetlands in California's Central Valley, USA …

In a detailed study of the biogeochemical factors affecting the methylation of mercury in a
Chesapeake Bay salt marsh, we examined relationships between mercury methylation and …

Methylmercury (MeHg) concentration and production rates were studied in bottom
sediments along the mainstem of Chesapeake Bay and on the adjoining continental shelf …
