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

Considerable recent research has focused on methylmercury (MeHg) cycling within
estuarine and coastal marine environments. Because MeHg represents a potent neurotoxin …

The flux of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from mangrove swamps accounts for 10% of the
global terrestrial flux of DOC to coastal oceans. Recent findings of high concentrations of …

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 …

The actual amount of fresh water readily accessible for use is< 1% of the total amount of
water on earth, and is expected to shrink further due to the projected growth of the …

Methylmercury (MeHg) accumulation in rice is an emerging human health issue, but uptake
pathways and translocation into the grain remain poorly understood. We grew Oryza sativa …

We evaluated mercury (Hg) in five waterbird species representing three foraging guilds in
San Francisco Bay, CA. Fish-eating birds (Forster's and Caspian terns) had the highest Hg …

The plant Halimione portulacoides, an abundant species widely distributed in temperate salt-
marshes, has been previously assessed as bioindicator and biomonitor of mercury …

Salt marshes are widely distributed and most productive ecosystems in the temperate zones
on the globe. These areas perform vital ecological functions and are populated mainly by …

The efficacy of thin layer in situ soil amendments was tested as a potential tool for
methylmercury (MeHg) risk mitigation in Penobscot River, ME, salt marsh. Salt marshes are …
