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 …

Mercury (Hg) pollution remains an environmental global concern due to its non-degradable
and toxic nature. Natural and anthropogenic sources of Hg adversely affect the functioning …

Mercury (Hg) is a chemical element widely present in the Earth's crust. However, its high
toxicity and ability to accumulate in organisms and biomagnify through food chains …

Mercury (Hg) emissions from forest fires, especially tropical forests such as the Amazonian
forest, were shown to contribute significantly to the atmospheric mercury budget, but new …

In order to assess the influencing factors of the presence of mercury in a river within the
Savanna biome (Cerrado), we surveyed total mercury (THg) in bottom sediment from 50 …

Anthropogenic mercury (Hg) emissions to the atmosphere have increased the concentration
of this potent neurotoxin in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The magnitude of regional …

Anthropogenic activities emit~ 2,000 Mg y− 1 of the toxic pollutant mercury (Hg) into the
atmosphere, leading to long-range transport and deposition to remote ecosystems. Global …

Mercury (Hg) is a non-essential trace metal, toxic to living beings and complex to quantify
and mitigate in the environment. In this study, 25 plant species native to an Amazon-Cerrado …

Mercury is ubiquitous in the environment. Present-day human activities such as coal-burning
and artisanal and small-scale gold mining emit mercury to the atmosphere (1), where it …

Mercury is a global pollutant and the focus of an international multilateral environmental
agreement (MEA), the Minamata Convention. Most of the mercury entering the environment …
