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 …

Human exposure to toxic mercury (Hg) is dominated by the consumption of seafood 1, 2.
Earth system models suggest that Hg in marine ecosystems is supplied by atmospheric wet …

Peatland vegetation takes up mercury (Hg) from the atmosphere, typically contributing to net
production and export of neurotoxic methyl-Hg to downstream ecosystems. Chemical …

This review documents recent advances in terrestrial mercury cycling. Terrestrial mercury
(Hg) research has matured in some areas, and is developing rapidly in others. We …

The widely accepted conceptual model of mercury (Hg) cycling in freshwater lakes
(atmospheric deposition and runoff of inorganic Hg, methylation in bottom sediments and …

Environmental archives offer an opportunity to reconstruct temporal trends in atmospheric
Hg deposition at various timescales. Lake sediment and peat have been the most widely …

When released to the biosphere, mercury (Hg) is very mobile and can take millennia to be
returned to a secure, long-term repository. Understanding where and when Hg was released …

Mass-independent fractionation (MIF) of stable even mass number mercury (Hg) isotopes is
observed in rainfall and gaseous elemental Hg0 globally and is used to quantify …
