The harm from mercury pollution to human health and the environment has long been
known. In recent years, the combination of industrial activities and long-term atmospheric …

Forests mediate the biogeochemical cycling of mercury (Hg) between the atmosphere and
terrestrial ecosystems; however, there remain many gaps in our understanding of these …

A panel of international experts was convened in Madison, Wisconsin, in 2005, as part of the
8th International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant. Our charge was to address …

The geochemical cycle of mercury in Earth's surface environment (atmosphere,
hydrosphere, biosphere) has been extensively studied; however, the deep geological …

Air‐sea exchange of mercury (Hg) is a critical part of the global Hg cycle as it determines, to
a large degree, the response time of the biosphere to changes in mercury inputs. Recent …

Forest ecosystem accounts for 31% of global land areas and plays a key role in the global
biogeochemical cycling of mercury (Hg). In this critical review, datasets of Hg flux …

Mercury (Hg) bioaccumulation in aquatic food webs has been much studied, motivated from
high Hg levels found in many fish species important for human consumption. Hg …

Gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) is a globally distributed air toxin with a long atmospheric
residence time. Any process that reduces its atmospheric lifetime increases its potential …

Filamentous fungi native to heavy metals (HMs) contaminated sites have great potential for
bioremediation, yet are still often underexploited. This research aimed to assess the HMs …

Volcanism is a potentially important natural source of mercury (Hg) to the environment.
However, its impact on the global Hg cycle remains poorly understood despite advances …
