Abstract Mercury is a highly toxic metal. Methylmercury and elemental mercury are the two forms of mercury of greatest importance for children’s environmental health. Methylmercury is especially toxic to the developing human brain. Methylmercury is formed when particles of metallic mercury emitted to the atmosphere by coal-fired power ...

Condensation of mercury in mercury-arc tubes
Electrical Engineering, 1940It is found experimentally that the efficiency of condensation of mercury vapor on cold metal surfaces is quite low. The condensing efficiency of steel surfaces is increased several fold by positive-ion bombardment of the surface. Nickel surfaces condense mercury vapor several times as efficiently as steel.

Mercury, particularly methylmercury, is an established worldwide environmental pollutant with known toxicity in humans. The toxic effects of methylmercury in fish were first brought to light after several episodes of poisoning in Japan that involved a spectrum of adverse clinical outcomes.

The Toxicology of Mercury and Methyl Mercury
1983Mercury has been used by man for thousands of years, especially as a red pigment in the form of sulphite or in drawings, e.g. in Ancient Egypt and Pakistan. The Romans used mercury compounds in medicines and amalgams, and during the past centuries it was not only used in alchemy in gold production but also, above all, it found both internal and ...

Methylmercury (MeHg), an organomercurial, is one of the most prevalent and toxic environmental pollutants. The major route of human exposure occurs via consumption of MeHg-adulterated seafood. Historically, MeHg epidemics in Minamata Bay, Japan, and in Iraq provided evidence of its developmental toxicity and neurological damage.
