Icarus, 2021 Boulders on the surfaces of planets, satellites and small bodies, as well as their geological associations, provide important information about surface processes. We analyzed all available images of the surface of Mercury that have sufficient resolution and quality to detect boulders, and we mapped all the boulders observed.

High mercury emission (both forms: Hg0 and Hg2+) from the wet scrubber in a full-scale lignite-fired power plant [PDF]
, 2020 The paper describes and discusses the results of research on mercury behaviour, especially its high emission, in both forms: elemental (Hg-0) and oxidised (Hg2+) from the wet flue gas desulphurisation scrubber (WFGD) in a lignite-fired power plant ...

Space Science Reviews, 2007 Mercury’s unusually high mean density has always been attributed to special circumstances that occurred during the formation of the planet or shortly thereafter, and due to the planet’s close proximity to the Sun. The nature of these special circumstances is still being debated and several scenarios, all proposed more than 20 years ago, have been ...

The Discovery of Mercury-resistant Bacteria Klebsiella Pneumoniae Isolated From Sario River Estuary That Can Be Used to Detoxify Inorganik Mercury Wastes [PDF]
, 2013 Mercury is well known for its high toxicity and strong affinity toward the thiol group of proteins. Mercury-resistant bacteria can be used for detoxify mercury wastes due to the ability of these bacteria to reduce toxic inorganic mercury into mercury ...

Journal of the American College of Toxicology, 1983 New findings on the environmental fate of Hg indicate that lakes can be contaminated by long distance transport on mercury vapor in the atmosphere and that higher levels of Me Hg in fish are associated with acidification of lakes and with the creation of hydroelectric reservoirs.

Bistable equilibrium points of mercury body burden [PDF]
, 2007 In the last century mercury levels in the global environment have tripled as a result of increased pollution from industrial, occupational, medicinal and domestic uses \cite{BaMe03}. Glutathione is known to be the main agent responsible for the excretion

Extractability and mobility of mercury from agricultural soils surrounding industrial and mining contaminated areas [PDF]
, 2010 This study focussed on a comparison of the extractability of mercury in soils with two different contamination sources (a chlor-alkali plant and mining activities) and on the evaluation of the influence of specific soil properties on the behaviour of the

Carcinogenicity of mercury and mercury compounds.
Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 1993 Mercury and mercury compounds are widely used in modern society, but only sparse data are available on their carcinogenicity. Methylmercury chloride causes kidney tumors in male mice. Mercury chloride has shown some carcinogenic activity in male rats, but the evidence for female rats and male mice is equivocal.

Inhalation of mercury vapor can cause the toxic effects on rat kidney [PDF]
, 2016 Dental amalgam has been used in dentistry as a filling material. The filler comprises mercury (Hg). It is considered one of the most important and widespread environmental pollutants, which poses a serious potential threat for the humans and animals ...
