The environmental cycling of mercury (Hg) can be affected by natural and anthropogenic
perturbations. Of particular concern is how these disruptions increase mobilization of Hg …

Remediation of mercury (Hg) contaminated sites has long relied on traditional approaches,
such as removal and containment/cap**. Here we review contemporary practices in the …

Methylmercury is a neurotoxicant that is found in fish and rice. MeHg's toxicity is mediated by
blockage of-SH and-SeH groups of proteins. However, the identification of MeHg's targets is …

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) …

Mercury is a toxin that causes neurological impairments in adults, is particularly harmful for
fetuses and children, and is deadly in severe cases, making it a worldwide health concern …

Monomethylmercury (MMHg) plays a crucial role in the accumulation of mercury (Hg) within
aquatic food chains. Since ambient levels of methylmercury are governed by the balance of …

Methylmercury is a neurotoxic compound that can enter rice fields through rainfall or
irrigation with contaminated wastewater, and then contaminate the human food chain …

Lake Superior has a vast and largely undeveloped watershed in comparison to the other
Great Lakes, which makes it challenging to study mercury (Hg) sources and cycling. To …

Abstract The Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) of China, the largest hydropower project over
the world, has attracted much attention to the water impoundment and water-level …

Periphyton is ubiquitous in Florida Everglades and has a profound effect on mercury (Hg)
cycling. Enhanced methylmercury (MeHg) production in periphyton has been well …
