Health risks caused by heavy metal pollution are one of the most concerning issues globally
due to heavy metal toxicity, carcinogenicity, bioaccumulation, and complex mechanisms with …

Abstract Since the last Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) effort to
review biological effects of mercury (Hg) on Arctic biota in 2011 and 2018, there has been a …

The slope of the simple linear regression between log10 transformed mercury (Hg)
concentration and stable nitrogen isotope values (δ15N), hereafter called trophic …

Although fish intake has potential health benefits, the presence of metal contamination in
seafood has raised public health concerns. In this study, levels of mercury, cadmium, lead …

Biomagnification of trace elements is increasingly evident in aquatic ecosystems. In this
review we investigate the drivers of biomagnification of mercury (Hg), arsenic (As) and …

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous toxic metal that biomagnifies in food webs, and can reach high
concentrations in top predators. Evaluating Hg biomagnification in Arctic marine food webs …

Nine heavy metals sampled from water, sediments, and aquatic organisms in the newly-
formed wetlands of the Yellow River Delta (YRD) of China were analyzed to evaluate their …

Global climate change has led to profound alterations of the Arctic environment and
ecosystems, with potential secondary effects on mercury (Hg) within Arctic biota. This review …

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 …

Mercury, a ubiquitous toxic element, is known to alter expression of sex steroids and to
impair reproduction across vertebrates but the mechanisms underlying these effects are not …
