The present and future air contamination by mercury is and will continue to be a serious risk
for human health. This publication presents a review of the literature dealing with the issues …

The coastal regions of inland seas are particularly vulnerable to Hg pollution. An important
carrier of toxic Hg in the marine environment is suspended matter originating from multiple …

Important Hg transformations can occur at the air–water interface where polluted terrestrial
air masses meet humid, halogen-rich marine air masses over the southern Baltic Sea. These …

Among other climate changes in the southern Baltic, there is a tendency towards warming,
especially in autumn-winter. As a result, the ice cover on the coastal zone often fails to occur …

PM1 aerosols were collected at the coastal station in Gdynia between 1st January and 31st
December 2012. The main purpose of the study was to determine the variability in …

Abstract Purpose In the Baltic Sea, the reduction of mercury load is estimated to be 44%
compared to the end of the previous century. Confirmation of mercury load decrease is …

The form in which Hg occurs in the atmosphere is important to understand the toxicity and
bioavailability of this metal. So far, research on mercury speciation in the atmosphere has …

An investigation of atmospheric mercury was conducted in the urban coastal zone of the Gulf
of Gdansk (Baltic Sea, Poland) in 2008. Rainwater samples were collected in bulk samplers …

Despite the presence of endocrine disrupting mercury, PAHs, alkylphenols and bisphenol A
in inhaled air, scientific literature lacks information on their penetration into the lungs. Large …

Mercury concentrations in fine (TPM 0.7) and coarse (TPM 2.2) aerosols were measured
over an urbanized and industrialized region of the southern Baltic Sea, during the period of …
