Past and present anthropogenic mercury (Hg) release to ecosystems causes neurotoxicity
and cardiovascular disease in humans with an estimated economic cost of $117 billion USD …

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 …

Humans are exposed to toxic methylmercury mainly by consuming marine fish. While
reducing mercury emissions and releases aims to protect human health, it is unclear how …

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 …

Atmospheric gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) concentrations in the Arctic exhibit a clear
summertime maximum, while the origin of this peak is still a matter of debate in the …

Toxic heavy metals are currently significant environmental pollutants as their growing
ecotoxicity becomes a serious public health concern. Their multiple application in several …

Plankton plays a prominent role in the bioaccumulation of mercury (Hg). The MERITE-
HIPPOCAMPE campaign was carried out in spring 2019 along a north-south transect …

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous and pervasive environmental contaminant with detrimental
effects on wildlife, which originates from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Its …

Mercury, a neurotoxic substance, circulates globally, significantly stored in soils through
atmospheric deposition and plant decay. Despite being deposited, mercury can be …

Understanding the relationship between mercury in seafood and the distribution of oceanic
methylmercury is key to understand human mercury exposure. Here, we determined …
