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 …

Human exposure to toxic mercury (Hg) is dominated by the consumption of seafood,. Earth
system models suggest that Hg in marine ecosystems is supplied by atmospheric wet and …

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous metal in the ocean that undergoes in situ chemical
transformations in seawater and marine sediment. Most relevant to public health is the …

Monomethylmercury (CH3Hg) is the only form of mercury (Hg) known to biomagnify in food
webs. Here we investigate factors driving methylated mercury [MeHg= CH3Hg+(CH3) 2Hg)] …

The focus of this paper is to briefly discuss the major advances in scientific thinking
regarding: a) processes governing the fate and transport of mercury in the environment; b) …

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 …

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 …

The formation of the toxic and bioaccumulating monomethylmercury (MMHg) in marine
systems is poorly understood, due in part to sparse data from many ocean regions. We …
