The biogeochemical cycling of mercury in aquatic environments is a complex process driven
by various factors, such as ambient temperature, seasonal variations, methylating bacteria …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is the most important and the most abundant organic Hg pollutant in
the aquatic ecosystem that can affect human health through biomagnification. It is the most …

Methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations can increase by 100 000 times between seawater
and marine phytoplankton, but levels vary across sites. To better understand how ecosystem …

Humus is often used as an organic modifier to reduce the bioaccumulation of heavy metals
in plants, but the effects of different humus components from different sources on the fate of …

Anthropogenic mercury (Hg) undergoes long-range transport to the Arctic where some of it is
transformed into methylmercury (MeHg), potentially leading to high exposure in some Arctic …

The ocean's mercury (Hg) content has tripled due to anthropogenic activities, and although
the dark ocean (> 200 m) has become an important Hg reservoir, concentrations of the toxic …

Coastal seas contribute the majority of human methylmercury (MeHg) exposure via marine
fisheries. The terrestrial area surrounding the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea (BS and YS) is one …

Large-scale studies are needed to identify the drivers of total mercury (THg) and
monomethyl-mercury (MeHg) concentrations in aquatic ecosystems. Studies attempting to …

Mercury (Hg) input into ecosystems is estimated to have increased by twofold to fivefold
since the industrial revolution. In aquatic ecosystems, methylmercury (MeHg) receives the …

Biodegradation of soil organic matter (SOM), which involves greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions, plays an essential role in the global carbon cycle. Over the past few decades, this …
