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 …

Anthropogenic mercury (Hg) emissions have driven marked increases in Arctic Hg levels,
which are now being impacted by regional warming, with uncertain ecological …

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that affects human and ecosystem health. We synthesize
understanding of sources, atmosphere-land-ocean Hg dynamics and health effects, and …

Mercury is a toxic, bioaccumulating trace metal whose emissions to the environment have
increased significantly as a result of anthropogenic activities such as mining and fossil fuel …

Mercury (Hg) is emitted to the atmosphere mainly as volatile elemental Hg 0. Oxidation to
water-soluble Hg II plays a major role in Hg deposition to ecosystems. Here, we implement a …

Anthropogenic activities have enriched mercury in the biosphere by at least a factor of three,
leading to increases in total mercury (Hg) in the surface ocean. However, the impacts on …

Mercury (Hg) and especially its methylated species (MeHg) are toxic chemicals that
contaminate humans via the consumption of seafood. The most recent UNEP Global …

The massive number of seabirds (penguins and procellariiformes) and marine mammals
(cetaceans and pinnipeds)–referred to here as top predators–is one of the most iconic …

Seabirds are amongst the most globally-threatened of all groups of birds, and conservation
issues specific to albatrosses (Diomedeidae) and large petrels (Procellaria spp. and giant …

Mercury enters marine food webs in the form of microbially generated monomethylmercury.
Microbial methylation of inorganic mercury, generating monomethylmercury, is widespread …
