This paper examines issues of human mercury (Hg) exposure and adverse health effects
throughout the Amazon region. An extensive review was conducted using bibliographic …

Mercury is a largely uncontrollable heavy metal contaminant in that it is globally ubiquitous,
and environmentally persistent. The element has the potential for global mobilization …

Mercury (Hg) is one of the few metals known to accumulate through food webs to
concentrations that are much higher in upper trophic level organisms than those in primary …

Fish has great socioeconomic, cultural, and nutritional importance for Amazonian
populations. Despite all health benefits, fish can accumulate great amounts of mercury (Hg) …

Abstract The Ethiopian Rift Valley Lakes host populations of edible fish species including
Oreochromis niloticus, Labeobarbus intermedius and Clarias gariepinus, which are …

Abstract The concentration of Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, Ag, Mo, Nd, Al, Ce, As, Sr, Pb, Pt
and Hg was analysed in water, sediments, and aquatic organisms from the San Roque …

This study brings a new viewpoint based on multiple-tissue analyses to form the basis for a
predictive mode of mercury accumulation dynamics in fish body under field conditions. Total …

Liver and muscle tissue of tusks (Brosme brosme) have been analyzed for their THg and
MeHg concentrations and Hg isotopic signatures for tracing Hg pollution along the …

An original approach is proposed to investigate inorganic (iHg) and methylmercury (MeHg)
trophic transfer and fate in a model fish, Danio rerio, by combining natural isotopic …

There is a dramatic lack of data on Hg levels in marine organisms from tropical areas, and in
particular from New Caledonia. For the first time, this study reports the total Hg …
