Abstract Purpose of Review Biomarkers are commonly used in epidemiological studies to
assess metals and metalloid exposure and estimate internal dose, as they integrate multiple …

Background Environmental contamination by mercury is and will continue to be a serious
risk for human health. Pollution of the terrestrial environment is particularly important as it is …

Mercury (Hg) is ubiquitary, naturally enriched in volcanic regions, and has wide applications
in science, industry, and agriculture. Recently, the increasing awareness of Hg toxicity has …

Mercury (Hg) is a pollutant that poses a global threat, and it was listed as one of the ten
leading 'chemicals of concern'by the World Health Organization in 2017. The review aims to …

This article describes the mercury contaminated sites in Asia. Among the various regions,
Asia has become the largest contributor of anthropogenic atmospheric mercury (Hg) …

We estimate mercury releases from artisanal and small scale gold mining (ASGM) based on
available data about mercury and gold exports and imports by country and from field reports …

Mercury is a highly volatile, bioaccumulating toxic trace metal with a long (∼ 1yr)
atmospheric residence time. Hg is strongly enriched in volcanic emanations, and volcanoes …

Volcanism is a potentially important natural source of mercury (Hg) to the environment.
However, its impact on the global Hg cycle remains poorly understood despite advances …

A multiscale modeling system that consists of a global chemical transport model (CTM) and
a nested continental CTM was used to simulate the global atmospheric fate and transport of …

This paper summarizes recent advances in the understanding of the exchange of Hg
between the atmosphere and natural terrestrial surfaces including substrates (soil, rocks …
