The scientific literature for fate and effects of non-nutrient contaminant concentrations is
skewed for reports describing sediment contamination and bioaccumulation for trace metals …

Wetlands are highly productive and biologically diverse environments that provide
numerous ecosystem services, but can also be sources of methylmercury (MeHg) production …

The monitoring of the pollution status of the Brazilian coast is hampered by the lack of a
consistent environmental indicator. We propose Hg as an environmental proxy to …

A sediment core from Guaratuba Bay was used to indicate possible Hg modifications to this
coastal environment brought about by growing agricultural activity. Sedimentation rates …

Multi-element analyses of sediment samples from the Santos-Cubatão Estuarine System
were carried out to investigate the spatial and seasonal variability of trace-element …

Dredging of contaminated sediments has shown to be a harmful activity for the environment,
because a number of contaminants can be resuspended and become available to the …

Mercury (Hg) contamination in mangrove ecosystems has received increasing attention in
recent years. Although many studies have investigated methylmercury (MeHg) …

Sediment cores were taken from the mangroves of the Coreaú River estuary off the
northeast coast of Brazil. They were analyzed for grain size, CaCO 3, organic matter, and …

The bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is an upper trophic level predator and the most
common cetacean species found in nearshore waters of southern Florida, including the …

The presence and formation of methylmercury (MMHg), a highly toxic form of Hg, in
mangrove ecosystems is poorly studied. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate …
