Rice cultivation practices from field preparation to post-harvest transform rice paddies into
hot spots for microbial mercury methylation, converting less-toxic inorganic mercury to more …

Abstract The Ria de Aveiro (Portugal) is a coast al lagoon adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and
it has an inner bay (Laranjo bay) that received a highly contaminated effluent discharged by …

Methylmercury (MeHg) is a bioaccumulative toxic contaminant in many ecosystems, but
factors governing its production are poorly understood. Recent work has shown that the …

Between 1950 and 1963 approximately 11 million kilograms of mercury (Hg) were used at
the Oak Ridge Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12 NSC) for lithium isotope separation …

In 2008 and 2009, mercury (Hg) cycling was investigated in a flooded rice paddy in the
Wanshan Hg mining region of eastern Guizhou, China, in the rice‐planted (2008 and 2009) …

We present a detailed study of the biogeochemical factors controlling mercury (Hg)
distribution, methylmercury (MeHg) production, and MeHg efflux in sediments of the mid …

Anthropogenic activities have been releasing mercury for centuries, and despite global
efforts to control emissions, concentrations in environmental media remain high. Coastal …

Although global mercury (Hg) emission from chlor-alkali industry is decreasing, the legacy
Hg may still have potential risks due to its environmental persistence. The objective of this …

Mercury (Hg) as a toxic pollutant in marine systems have been paid more attention. The
Jiaozhou Bay (JZB) is located at the western coast of the Yellow Sea surrounded by …

There is increasing interest in understanding factors controlling methylmercury (MeHg)
production in mercury-contaminated rice paddy soil. Sulfate has been reported to affect …
