Abstract The Minamata Convention on Mercury (MC) includes provisions for a global
monitoring program (GMP) and effectiveness evaluation (EE) to provide information on …

Monitoring mercury (Hg) levels in biota is considered an important objective for the
effectiveness evaluation of the Minamata Convention. While many studies have …

Forest biomass and soils represent some of the largest reservoirs of actively cycling mercury
(Hg) on Earth, but many uncertainties exist regarding the source and fate of Hg in forest …

An important provision of the Minamata Convention on Mercury is to monitor and evaluate
the effectiveness of the adopted measures and its implementation. Here, we describe for the …

Due to the advent of cold vapor-multicollector-inductively coupled plasma mass
spectrometry (CV-MC-ICP-MS) in the past two decades, many research groups studying …

Coastal sediments are a major sink of the global mercury (Hg) biogeochemical cycle,
bridging terrestrial Hg migration to the open ocean. It is thus of substantial interest to quantify …

In natural freshwater and sediments, mercuric mercury (Hg (II)) is largely associated with
particulate minerals and organics, but it remains unclear under what conditions particulates …

Mass-dependent fractionation (MDF) and mass-independent fractionation (MIF) may cause
characteristic isotope signatures of different mercury (Hg) sources and help understand …

Between 1932 and 1968, industrial wastewater containing methylmercury (MeHg) and other
mercury (Hg) compounds was discharged directly into Minamata Bay, Japan, seriously …

Wetlands are considered the hotspots for mercury (Hg) biogeochemistry, garnering global
attention. Therefore, it is important to review the research progress in this field and predict …
