Anthropogenic mercury (Hg) emissions have driven marked increases in Arctic Hg levels,
which are now being impacted by regional warming, with uncertain ecological …

Global anthropogenic and legacy mercury (Hg) emissions are the main sources of Arctic Hg
contamination, primarily transported there via the atmosphere. This review summarizes the …

Smoke from wildfires is a significant source of air pollution, which can adversely impact air
quality and ecosystems downwind. With the recently increasing intensity and severity of …

Mercury (Hg) is a global atmospheric pollutant. In its oxidized form (Hg II), it can readily
deposit to ecosystems, where it may bioaccumulate and cause severe health effects. High …

Peatlands are potent landscape sinks of natural and industrial toxic metals and metalloids
(TMMs) but the long-term sequestration of TMMs in peatlands is at increasing risk due to …

Increasing wildfire activity at high northern latitudes has the potential to mobilize large
amounts of terrestrial mercury (Hg). However, understanding implications for Hg cycling and …

As the Third Pole of the world, the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is sensitive to anthropogenic
influences. Biomass combustion is one of the most important anthropogenic sources of …

Trees predominantly take up mercury (Hg) from the atmosphere via stomatal assimilation of
gaseous elemental Hg (GEM). Hg is oxidised in leaves/needles and transported to other tree …

Wildfire impacts on air quality and climate are expected to be exacerbated by climate
change with the most pronounced impacts in the boreal biome. Despite the large …

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (MAPEOs) are considered to be one of the main
sources of mercury release into the environment. Considering the gold mining activities, this …
