A review of global environmental mercury processes in response to human and natural perturbations: Changes of emissions, climate, and land use
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 …

Mercury physicochemical and biogeochemical transformation in the atmosphere and at atmospheric interfaces: a review and future directions
Mercury is a fascinating fluid metal that exists as liquid at 25 C (0 C= 273 K). This silver
colored d-block heavy metal exhibits noble-gas-like characteristics and solidifies at a …

Mediterranean mercury assessment 2022: an updated budget, health consequences, and research perspectives
Mercury (Hg) and especially its methylated species (MeHg) are toxic chemicals that
contaminate humans via the consumption of seafood. The most recent UNEP Global …

Global biogeochemical implications of mercury discharges from rivers and sediment burial
Rivers are an important source of mercury (Hg) to marine ecosystems. Based on an analysis
of compiled observations, we estimate global present-day Hg discharges from rivers to …

Evidence for a prolonged Permian–Triassic extinction interval from global marine mercury records
The latest Permian mass extinction, the most devastating biocrisis of the Phanerozoic, has
been widely attributed to eruptions of the Siberian Traps Large Igneous Province, although …

Climate-driven changes of global marine mercury cycles in 2100
Human exposure to monomethylmercury (CH3Hg), a potent neurotoxin, is principally
through the consumption of seafood. The formation of CH3Hg and its bioaccumulation in …

A global model for methylmercury formation and uptake at the base of marine food webs
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)] …
