The Arctic plays a critical role in the global Hg cycle as both a sink of Hg and, in response to
rapid global warming, an emerging source of Hg due to release from permafrost and …

We investigated trophic transfer of cadmium (Cd) through an Arctic marine food web in
Hudson Bay and compared it with mercury (Hg), a metal known to strongly biomagnify. We …

The mineralogy and oxidation state of aerosol iron (Fe) play important roles in controlling
aerosol Fe solubility and consequent bioavailability in seawater. In this study, the spatial …

This chapter introduces you to metals and metalloids that are a concern to the health of
marine ecosystems. It provides a general chemical understanding of important metals and …

Atmospheric deposition of dust is an important pathway supplying nutrient trace elements to
the surface water of remote oceans. Recent warming in the sensitive polar regions might …
