Recent studies have shown that climate change is already having significant impacts on
many aspects of transport pathways, speciation and cycling of mercury within Arctic …

Estuaries are sinks for mercury, in which the most toxic mercury form, neurotoxic
methylmercury (MeHg), is produced by mercury methylators and accumulates in estuarine …

Mercury (Hg) speciation and bioavailability were studied in surface sediments affected by
artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in the Mojana region of Colombia. The results …

The most important mercury species in the environment is monomethylmercury (MMHg), the
topic of this chapter. This organic mercury compound is normally not released into the …

In a detailed study of the biogeochemical factors affecting the methylation of mercury in a
Chesapeake Bay salt marsh, we examined relationships between mercury methylation and …

Methylmercury (MeHg) concentration and production rates were studied in bottom
sediments along the mainstem of Chesapeake Bay and on the adjoining continental shelf …

Petroleum activity and the dumping of domestic and industrial sewage are important sources
of mercury (Hg) contamination in the aquatic environment. Thus, this article aimed to …

The presence of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (THg), methylmercury (MeHg), arsenic
(TAs), inorganic arsenic (iAs), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr) …

This study investigated seasonal trends in bioaccumulation potential and toxic effects of
mercury (Hg) in Asian clams (Corbicula fluminea) and microbial community. For this, a clam …

Background Neuronal and sensory toxicity of mercury (Hg) compounds has been largely
investigated in humans/mammals with a focus on public health, while research in fish is less …
