Mercury (Hg) is ubiquitary, naturally enriched in volcanic regions, and has wide applications
in science, industry, and agriculture. Recently, the increasing awareness of Hg toxicity has …

Abstract The Canadian Arctic has vast freshwater resources, and fish are important in the
diet of many Northerners. Mercury is a contaminant of concern because of its potential …

Methylmercury contamination of fish is a global threat to environmental health. Mercury (Hg)
monitoring programs are valuable for generating data that can be compiled for spatially …

Many mining projects targeting rare earth elements (REE) are in development in North
America, but the background concentrations and trophic transfer of these elements in natural …

Wildlife are exposed to neurotoxic mercury at locations distant from anthropogenic emission
sources because of long-range atmospheric transport of this metal. In this study, mercury …

Studies on mercury bioaccumulation and biomagnification in coastal invertebrates in
eastern Canada are limited, but these data are necessary to determine risk of mercury …

This study examined methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations in fish, the daily MeHg exposure
dose, and the risk–benefit of MeHg, ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (ω-3 PUFA) …

As plants and associated insects are at the bottom of some terrestrial food webs, they are the
primary contributors to mercury (Hg) fluxes in ecosystems. In addition to the trophic position …

Forest management can alter the mobilization of mercury (Hg) into headwater streams and
its conversion to methylmercury (MeHg), the form that bioaccumulates in aquatic biota and …

The persistence of seaweeds as community-structuring organisms is critical for the
maintenance of many ecosystem functions on rocky intertidal shores. We measured the …
