Environmental Mercury and Its Toxic Effects [PDF]
Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, 2014 Mercury exists naturally and as a man-made contaminant. The release of processed mercury can lead to a progressive increase in the amount of atmospheric mercury, which enters the atmospheric-soil-water distribution cycles where it can remain in ...

Toxic Mechanisms of Five Heavy Metals: Mercury, Lead, Chromium, Cadmium, and Arsenic
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 The industrial activities of the last century have caused massive increases in human exposure to heavy metals. Mercury, lead, chromium, cadmium, and arsenic have been the most common heavy metals that induced human poisonings.

Vulcan and anomalous displacement of Mercury's perihelion [PDF]
sent to Astrophysics and Space Science 2023, 2022 In this paper, I re-examine the question of a possible explanation of the anomalous advance of Mercury's perihelion by the existence of the hypothetical planet Vulcan proposed by Le Verrier, whose orbit would be located inside the orbit of Mercury. My calculations are focused on the optimization of the orbital parameters of Vulcan in order to explain ...

Solar-wind electron precipitation on weakly magnetized bodies: the planet Mercury [PDF]
A&A 674, A153 (2023), 2022 Mercury is the archetype of a weakly magnetized, airless, telluric body immersed in the solar wind. Due to the lack of any substantial atmosphere, the solar wind directly precipitates on Mercury's surface. Using a 3D fully-kinetic self-consistent plasma model, we show for the first time that solar-wind electron precipitation drives (i) efficient ...

Global health effects of future atmospheric mercury emissions
Nature Communications, 2021 Mercury is a potent neurotoxin that poses health risks to the global population. Anthropogenic mercury emissions to the atmosphere are projected to decrease in the future due to enhanced policy efforts such as the Minamata Convention, a legally-binding ...
