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 …

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

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 …

Isotopic variations usually follow mass-dependent fractionation, meaning that the relative
variations in isotopic ratios scale with the difference in mass of the isotopes involved (eg …

Remediation of mercury (Hg) contaminated sites has long relied on traditional approaches,
such as removal and containment/cap**. Here we review contemporary practices in the …

The re-emission and subsurface migration of legacy mercury (Hg) are not well understood
due to limited knowledge of the driving processes. To investigate these processes at a …

The concentrations and isotopic compositions of mercury (Hg) in surface sediments of the
Pearl River Estuary (PRE) and the South China Sea (SCS) were analyzed. The data …

Terrestrial runoff represents a major source of mercury (Hg) to aquatic ecosystems. In boreal
forest catchments, such as the one in northern Sweden studied here, mercury bound to …

Mercury (Hg) stable isotopes provide a new tool to trace the biogeochemical cycle of Hg. An
inventory of the isotopic composition of historical anthropogenic Hg emissions is important to …

Nature archives record atmospheric mercury (Hg) depositions from directly emitted Hg and
re-emitted legacy Hg. Tracing the legacy versus newly deposited Hg is still, however …
