Behavior of KCl sorbent traps and KCl trapping solutions used for atmospheric mercury speciation: stability and specificity [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2021 Atmospheric mercury speciation is of paramount importance for understanding the behavior of mercury once it is emitted into the atmosphere as gaseous elemental mercury (GEM), gaseous oxidized mercury (GOM) and particulate-bound mercury (PBM). GOM and PBM

A 3 Year-Old Male Child Ingested Approximately 750 Grams of Elemental Mercury
Balkan Medical Journal, 2016 Background: The oral ingestion of elemental mercury is unlikely to cause systemic toxicity, as it is poorly absorbed through the gastrointestinal system.

Impact of mercury atmospheric deposition on soils and streams in a mountainous catchment (Vosges, France) polluted by chlor-alkali industrial activity: The important trapping role of the organic matter [PDF]
, 2006 Total atmospheric Hg contamination in a French mountainous catchment upstream from a chlor-alkali industrial site was assessed using Hg concentrations in the deepest soil horizon, in the stream bottom sediments, in river waters and in bryophytes.

Enhanced production of oxidised mercury over the tropical Pacific Ocean: a key missing oxidation pathway [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 Mercury is a contaminant of global concern. It is transported in the atmosphere primarily as gaseous elemental mercury, but its reactivity and deposition to the surface environment, through which it enters the aquatic food chain, is greatly enhanced ...

A Challenging Case of Acute Mercury Toxicity
Case Reports in Medicine, 2018 Background. Mercury exists in multiple forms: elemental, organic, and inorganic. Its toxic manifestations depend on the type and magnitude of exposure. The role of colonoscopic decompression in acute mercury toxicity is still unclear.

Underestimation of atmospheric oxidized mercury at a mountaintop site by the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsAn improved mechanistic model of mercury redox chemistry has recently been implemented in the GEOS-Chem model. In this study, GEOS-Chem simulations were compared to ambient measurements made during a high-oxidized mercury episode that originated in the ...
