Wetland area in agricultural landscapes has been heavily reduced to gain land for crop
production, but in recent years there is increased societal recognition of the negative …

This review documents recent advances in terrestrial mercury cycling. Terrestrial mercury
(Hg) research has matured in some areas, and is develo** rapidly in others. We …

Mercury (Hg) is a natural and widespread trace metal, but is considered a priority pollutant,
particularly its organic form methylmercury (MMHg), because of human's exposure to MMHg …

The origin and composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in porewater of lake
sediments is intricate and decisive for fate of pollutants including mercury (Hg). While there …

The widely accepted conceptual model of mercury (Hg) cycling in freshwater lakes
(atmospheric deposition and runoff of inorganic Hg, methylation in bottom sediments and …

With increasing input of neurotoxic mercury to environments as a result of anthropogenic
activity, it has become imperative to examine how mercury may enter biotic systems through …

Neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) formed from inorganic divalent mercury (HgII)
accumulates in aquatic biota and remains at high levels worldwide. It is poorly understood to …

In freshwater ecosystems, several studies have shown a strong linear relationship between
total mercury (THg) or methylmercury (MeHg) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) …

Bioaccumulation of the neurotoxin methylmercury (MeHg) in rice has raised worldwide
concerns because of its risks to human health. Certain microorganisms are able to degrade …

Mercury (Hg) contaminated sediments can be significant sources of Hg in aquatic
ecosystems and, through re-emission processes, to the atmosphere. Transformation and …
