We review recent progress in our understanding of the global cycling of mercury (Hg),
including best estimates of Hg concentrations and pool sizes in major environmental …

Centuries of anthropogenic releases have resulted in a global legacy of mercury (Hg)
contamination. Here we use a global model to quantify the impact of uncertainty in Hg …

Mercury (Hg) is emitted to the atmosphere mainly as volatile elemental Hg 0. Oxidation to
water-soluble Hg II plays a major role in Hg deposition to ecosystems. Here, we implement a …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is the only species of mercury (Hg) to biomagnify in aquatic food-
webs to levels that are a widespread concern for human and ecological health. Here we …

Rivers discharge 28±13 Mmol yr− 1 of mercury (Hg) to ocean margins, an amount
comparable to atmospheric deposition to the global oceans. Most of the Hg discharged by …

We perform global-scale inverse modeling to constrain present-day atmospheric mercury
emissions and relevant physiochemical parameters in the GEOS-Chem chemical transport …

Methylmercury (MeHg), a highly neurotoxic substance, accumulates in aquatic food webs,
and is enriched in odd isotopes (ie, 199Hg and 201Hg), purportedly as a result of abiotic …

The atmosphere is the major transport pathway for distribution of mercury (Hg) globally.
Gaseous elemental mercury (GEM, hereafter Hg 0) is the predominant form in both …

Atmospheric deposition is the main input of mercury (Hg) to the ocean, even in remote
locations such as the Arctic. Furthermore, evasion of elemental Hg (Hg°) is the major sink for …

Eutrophication is expanding worldwide, but its implication for production and
bioaccumulation of neurotoxic monomethylmercury (MeHg) is unknown. We developed a …
