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 concentrations in the Arctic atmosphere exhibit a pronounced peak during summer. Model simulations suggest that this can be explained only if boreal rivers deliver large quantities of mercury to the Arctic Ocean.

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.

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.

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 ...

Horace’s Mercury and Mercurial Horace
2019In this piece I have surveyed the various guises under which the god Mercury is presented in the poetry of Horace. Mercury is an important figure in the Odes as inventor of the lyre, a key patron of lyric poetry and divine protector of the poet; though he can be paralleled with the young Caesar at one moment, he is not to be taken as symbolizing him at

The major physical forms of mercury to which humans are exposed are mercury vapor, Hg0, and methylmercury compounds, Ch3HgX. Mercury vapor emitted from both natural and anthropogenic sources is globally distributed in the atmosphere. It is returned as a water-soluble form in precipitation and finds its way into bodies of fresh and ocean water. Land run-

The global mercury cycle is diagrammed, and the movement of mercury in aquatic food chains is discussed. The methylation mechanisms in aquatic systems are diagrammed and discussed. The mercury flow in US society is diagrammed; the diagram shows the percentage contribution of various sources to the environment. Atmospheric levels of mercury are graphed,
