Mercury is one of the most detrimental by-products of industrial activities, such as mining
and fossil fuel combustion. What differentiates this contaminant from other pollutants is its …

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that affects human and ecosystem health. We synthesize
understanding of sources, atmosphere-land-ocean Hg dynamics and health effects, and …

Microbial mercury (Hg) methylation transforms a toxic trace metal into the highly
bioaccumulated neurotoxin methylmercury (MeHg). The lack of a genetic marker for …

Plastic pollution is now recognized as a global environmental issue that can affect the health
of biota and ecosystems. Now that a growing number of species and taxa are known to …

Rivers are an important source of mercury (Hg) to marine ecosystems. Based on an analysis

Indigenous peoples (IPs) worldwide are confronted by the increasing threat of pollution.
Based on a comprehensive review of the literature (n= 686 studies), we present the current …

The speciation analysis of heavy metal pollutants is very important because different species
induce different toxicological effects. Nanomaterial-assisted optical sensors have achieved …

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous toxic metal that biomagnifies in food webs, and can reach high
concentrations in top predators. Evaluating Hg biomagnification in Arctic marine food webs …

Melatonin has a wide variety of beneficial actions at the level of the gonads and their
adnexa. Some actions are mediated via its classic membrane melatonin receptors while …
