We review recent progress in our understanding of the global cycling of mercury (Hg),
including best estimates of Hg concentrations and pool sizes in major environmental …

In support of international efforts to reduce mercury (Hg) exposure in humans and wildlife,
this paper reviews the literature concerning global Hg emissions, cycling and fate, and …

Past and present anthropogenic mercury (Hg) release to ecosystems causes neurotoxicity
and cardiovascular disease in humans with an estimated economic cost of $117 billion USD …

Mercury is a potent neurotoxin that poses health risks to the global population.
Anthropogenic mercury emissions to the atmosphere are projected to decrease in the future …

Mercury plays a critical role in serious health problems due to environmental or occupational
exposures. Aquatic ecosystems are an essential component of the global biogeochemical …

Toxic trace elements (TEs) can pose serious risks to ecosystems and human health.
However, a comprehensive understanding of atmospheric emission inventories for several …

This paper reviews information from the existing literature and the EU GMOS (Global
Mercury Observation System) project to assess the current scientific knowledge on global …

The atmosphere is a key component of the biogeochemical cycle of mercury, acting as a
reservoir, transport mechanism, and facilitator of chemical reactions. The chemical and …

Mercury (Hg) is a naturally occurring element that bonds with organic matter and, when
converted to methylmercury, is a potent neurotoxicant. Here we estimate potential future …

The effectiveness of reducing the environmental level of mercury (Hg) by controlling
anthropogenic emissions depends on the magnitude of re-emissions from the land and …
