Monitoring mercury (Hg) levels in biota is considered an important objective for the
effectiveness evaluation of the Minamata Convention. While many studies have …

Methylmercury (MeHg) toxicity is a major environmental concern. In the aquatic reservoir,
MeHg bioaccumulates along the food chain until it is consumed by riverine populations …

Eating fish is often recommended as part of a healthful diet. However, fish, particularly large
predatory fish, can contain significant levels of the highly toxic methylmercury (MeHg) …

Birds are principally exposed to selenium (Se) through their diet. In long-lived and top
predator seabirds, such as the giant petrel, extremely high concentrations of Se are found …

To establish the use of eggs as biomonitoring tools for maternal body burdens, we
investigated the mother-to-egg ratio of 56 PCB, 12 OCP and 34 PBDE unique compounds …

The selenol (-SeH) group of selenocysteine (SeCys), a cysteine analogue and a more
potent nucleophile, has often been considered as a potential target of toxic trace metals and …

High exposures of mammalian species to inorganic mercury (Hg II) and methylmercury
(MeHg) have been associated with adverse effects on behavior and reproduction. Different …

Environmental context Understanding mercury transformations in the aquatic environment is
of utmost importance for the improvement of mercury biogeochemical modelling and sound …

Exposure to mercury (Hg) through fish consumption poses significant environmental and
public health risks, given its status as one of the top ten hazardous chemicals. Aquaculture is …

An original approach is proposed to investigate inorganic (iHg) and methylmercury (MeHg)
trophic transfer and fate in a model fish, Danio rerio, by combining natural isotopic …
