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 …

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that emits in large quantities to the atmosphere (> 6,000–
8,000 Mg Hg per year) through anthropogenic activities, biomass burning, geogenic …

Mercury emissions from artisanal and small-scale gold mining throughout the Global South
exceed coal combustion as the largest global source of mercury. We examined mercury …

Anthropogenic activities have led to large-scale mercury (Hg) pollution in the Arctic,,,,,. It has
been suggested that sea-salt-induced chemical cycling of Hg (through 'atmospheric mercury …

Mercury (Hg) is a naturally occurring element in the Earth's crust. It can be harmful to human
health when released in large quantities and/or converted to the neurotoxicant methyl …

The atmosphere is a key component of the biogeochemical cycle of mercury, acting as a
reservoir, transport mechanism, and facilitator of chemical reactions. The chemical and …

Anthropogenic mercury emissions are transported through the atmosphere as gaseous
elemental mercury (Hg (0)) before they are deposited to Earth's surface. Strong seasonality …

Peatland vegetation takes up mercury (Hg) from the atmosphere, typically contributing to net
production and export of neurotoxic methyl-Hg to downstream ecosystems. Chemical …

Mercury (Hg) is a toxic metal released into the environment through human activities and
natural processes. Human activities have profoundly increased the amount of Hg in the …

Pacific Ocean tuna is among the most-consumed seafood products but contains relatively
high levels of the neurotoxin methylmercury. Limited observations suggest tuna mercury …
