Mercury (Hg) is a global contaminant that presents public health risks through seafood
consumption primarily in the form of monomethylmercury (MMHg). Methylation of inorganic …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The increasing population and anthropogenic activities
in coastal areas affects the presence of mercury in coastal waters. Therefore, this study aims …

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous metal in the ocean that undergoes in situ chemical
transformations in seawater and marine sediment. Most relevant to public health is the …

Abstract The northern Adriatic Sea is well known for mercury (Hg) contamination mainly due
to historical Hg mining which took place in Idrija (Slovenia). The formation of dissolved …

Mercury nanoparticles are abundant in natural environments. Yet, understanding their
contribution to global biogeochemical cycling of mercury remains elusive. Here, we show …

Large volumes of seawater were sampled in the Gulf of Trieste (northern Adriatic Sea) in
order to study the interactions between colloidal organic matter (COM) and metal (loid) s …

Mercury (Hg) is one of the primary health concerns in natural and urbanised environments
due to past and present natural and anthropogenic emissions. Its environmental cycle is …

The present study aims to explore the bioaccumulation and biotic transformations of
inorganic (iHg) and monomethyl mercury (MMHg) by natural pico-nanoplankton community …

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant, being highly persistent in the atmosphere, in particular
gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), which can easily be emitted and then transported over …

Gaseous exchanges of mercury (Hg) at the water–air interface in contaminated sites strongly
influence its fate in the environment. In this study, diurnal gaseous Hg exchanges were …
