An Ethnography of Entanglements: Mercury’s Presence and Absence in Artisanal and Small-scale Gold-mining in Antioquia, Colombia [PDF]
This paper describes a ‘follow the thing’ methodology as applied to an ethnography of entanglements. This methodology allowed for a materially and politically nuanced understanding of Antioquia, Colombia’s response to mercury pollution.

Objective Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a known comorbidity of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and is associated with PsA disease activity. We aimed to explore the association between MetS and radiographic features (peripheral and axial) in PsA. Methods We included patients with PsA followed at our prospective observational cohort for the period between 1978 ...

Identification of mercury species in spent fluorescent lamps and mercury recovery by distillation
The discarding of spent fluorescent lamps, one of the most significant sources of mercury usage in industry, might cause mercury release into the environment when suffering from breakage.

The Elusive Origin of Mercury [PDF]
The MESSENGER mission sought to discover what physical processes determined Mercury's high metal to silicate ratio. Instead, the mission has discovered multiple anomalous characteristics about our innermost planet. The lack of FeO and the reduced oxidation state of Mercury's crust and mantle are more extreme than nearly all other known materials in the

Dear Sir: —InThe Journal, Jan. 21, page 95, column "Book Reviews," and in commendation of " 600 Medical Don'ts," the review says: "To the other 'don'ts ' might be added: Don't imagine that mercury can get into your bones," etc. What then shall we do with authority so high and so generally accepted as Bartholow? In his "Materia Medica," fifth edition,

Model analyses of atmospheric mercury: present air quality and effects of transpacific transport on the United States [PDF]
Atmospheric mercury is a toxic air and water pollutant that is of significant concern because of its effects on human health and ecosystems. A mechanistic representation of the atmospheric mercury cycle is developed for the state-of-the-art global ...

A comprehensive model of the meteoroid environment around Mercury [PDF]
To characterize the meteoroid environment around Mercury and its contribution to the planet's exosphere, we combined four distinctive sources of meteoroids in the solar system: main-belt asteroids, Jupiter family comets, Halley-type comets, and Oort Cloud comets. All meteoroid populations are described by currently available dynamical models. We used a
