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 …

The biogeochemical cycling of metals in natural systems is often accompanied by stable
isotope fractionation which can now be measured due to recent analytical advances. In …

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 …

Since the early 1950s, the number of international measurement standards for anchoring
stable isotope delta scales has mushroomed from 3 to more than 30, expanding to more …

Human exposure to toxic mercury (Hg) is dominated by the consumption of seafood 1, 2.
Earth system models suggest that Hg in marine ecosystems is supplied by atmospheric wet …

Metals in soil are potentially harmful to humans and ecosystems. Stable isotope
measurement may provide “fingerprint” information on the sources of metals. In light of the …

Mercury is a fascinating fluid metal that exists as liquid at 25 C (0 C= 273 K). This silver
colored d-block heavy metal exhibits noble-gas-like characteristics and solidifies at a …

Virtually all biotic, dark abiotic, and photochemical transformations of mercury (Hg) produce
Hg isotope fractionation, which can be either mass dependent (MDF) or mass independent …

Forests mediate the biogeochemical cycling of mercury (Hg) between the atmosphere and
terrestrial ecosystems; however, there remain many gaps in our understanding of these …

Abstract The Minamata Convention on Mercury (MC) includes provisions for a global
monitoring program (GMP) and effectiveness evaluation (EE) to provide information on …
