Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) combines plasma chemistry, which
produces singly charged elemental ions, with mass spectrometric detection. Unlike other …

Mercury (Hg) is a chemical of health concern worldwide that is now being acted upon
through the Minamata Convention. Operationalizing the Convention and tracking its …

Owing to various industrial applications of mercury (Hg), its release into the environment at
high concentration is becoming a great threat to living organisms on a global scale. Human …

Knowledge gaps in mercury (Hg) biomagnification in forest birds, especially in the most
species-rich tropical and subtropical forests, limit our understanding of the ecological risks of …

The transfer of aquatic contaminants, including mercury (Hg), to terrestrial food webs is an
often-overlooked exposure pathway to terrestrial animals. While research has implemented …

To elucidate the sources and transfer of mercury (Hg) in terrestrial food chains, particularly in
heavily Hg-contaminated rice paddy ecosystems, we collected rice leaves, invertebrates …

Deep oceans receive mercury (Hg) from upper oceans, sediment diagenesis, and
submarine volcanism; meanwhile, sinking particles shuttle Hg to marine sediments. Recent …

Atmospheric mercury (Hg) emissions and subsequent transport and deposition are major
concerns within protected lands, including national parks, where Hg can bioaccumulate to …

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 …

One of benthic organisms exposed to contact with mercury in the southern Baltic is alien
species of clam: Dreissena polymorpha. As this organism is increasingly dynamic in various …
