Dissolved organic matter (DOM) interacts very strongly with mercury, affecting its speciation,
solubility, mobility, and toxicity in the aquatic environment. Strong binding of mercury by …

It is increasingly becoming known that mercury transport and speciation in the terrestrial
environment play major roles in methyl-mercury bioaccumulation potential in surface water …

The most critical step for methylmercury (MeHg) bioaccumulation in aquatic food webs is
phytoplankton uptake of dissolved MeHg. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) has been known …

The binding of Hg (II) to dissolved organic matter (DOM; hydrophobic acids isolated from the
Florida Everglades by XAD-8 resin) was measured at a wide range of Hg-to-DOM …

Conditional distribution coefficients (K DOM ') for Hg (II) binding to seven dissolved organic
matter (DOM) isolates were measured at environmentally relevant ratios of Hg (II) to DOM …

Methylmercury is a neurotoxin that accumulates in food webs and poses a significant risk to
human health. In natural water bodies, methylmercury concentrations remain low due to the …

Natural organic matter (NOM)-mediated redox cycling of elemental mercury Hg (0) and
mercuric Hg (II) is critically important in affecting inorganic mercury transformation and …

Rice paddies provide optimum conditions for Hg methylation, and paddy soil is a hot spot for
Hg methylation and the predominant source of methylmercury (MeHg) accumulated in rice …

The spatial variation of MeHg production, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification in marine
food webs is poorly characterized but critical to understanding the links between sources …

Photo-decomposition is among the most important mechanisms responsible for degrading
monomethylmercury (MMHg) in aquatic systems, but this process is not fully understood. We …
