Abstract The Minamata Convention on Mercury (MC) includes provisions for a global
monitoring program (GMP) and effectiveness evaluation (EE) to provide information on …

Recent studies demonstrate a short 3–6-month atmospheric lifetime for mercury (Hg). This
implies Hg emissions are predominantly deposited within the same hemisphere in which …

Fluorescent carbon dots (N-CDs) were synthesized from ascorbic acid and urea following a
green route and were characterized on the basis of analytical, spectroscopic, and …

Mercury (Hg) is known as one of the major contaminants in the Amazon. The Tapajós River
basin, in the Brazilian Amazon, has diverse anthropogenic activities which increase Hg …

Artisanal small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the main source of anthropogenic mercury
emissions and contamination in Latin America. In the Brazilian northern Amazon, ASGM has …

Driven by surges in global gold prices and additional socio-economic factors, artisanal small-
scale gold mining (ASGM) in the Global South is increasing and driving emissions of …

Mercury (Hg) stable isotope fractionation has been widely used to trace Hg sources and
transformations in the environment, although many important fractionation processes remain …

During Arctic springtime, halogen radicals oxidize atmospheric elemental mercury (Hg0),
which deposits to the cryosphere. This is followed by a summertime atmospheric Hg0 peak …

In the Brazilian Amazon, where the majority of Yanomami villages are settled, mercury (Hg)
exposure due to artisanal small-scale gold mining (ASGM) has been reported since the …

The application of mercury (Hg) stable isotopes as tracers of Hg biogeochemical cycling
requires high accuracy and precision for Hg isotope analysis. A common method for sample …
