Recent studies demonstrate a short 3–6-month atmospheric lifetime for mercury (Hg). This
implies Hg emissions are predominantly deposited within the same hemisphere in which …

The slope of the simple linear regression between log10 transformed mercury (Hg)
concentration and stable nitrogen isotope values (δ15N), hereafter called trophic …

Aquatic ecosystems of the Bolivian Altiplano (∼ 3800 m asl) are characterized by extreme
hydro-climatic constrains (eg, high UV-radiations and low oxygen) and are under the …

Mercury has been measured by using Cold Vapor-Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry in
coastal sediments of the Persian Gulf (Bandar Abbas region). The mean concentration of the …

Mining is one of the major pollution sources worldwide, causing huge disturbances to the
environment. Industrial and artisanal mining activities are widespread in Mexico, a major …

The sources and factors controlling concentrations of monomethylmercury (MMHg) in
aquatic ecosystems need to be better understood. Here, we investigated Hg transformations …

Abstract The Araguaia River floodplain is an important biogeographic boundary between the
two largest South American biomes: the Cerrado (Brazilian Savanna) and the Amazon …

Growing evidence has suggested that microbial biofilms are potential environmental
“hotspots” for the production and accumulation of a bioaccumulative neurotoxin …

The present study assesses mercury biomagnification and the trophic structure of the
ichthyofauna from the Puruzinho Lake, Brazilian Amazon. In addition to mercury …

The Antarctic is the most isolated region in the world; nevertheless, it has not avoided the
negative impact of human activity, including the inflow of toxic mercury (Hg). Hg deposited in …
