Formation of methylmercury in a terrestrial environment
Nature, 1974WOOD et al.1 demonstrated that the mercury from inorganic chemicals can be methylated by aquatic organisms and also, enzymatically, by extracts of methanogenic bacteria. Since the organic forms of mercury are reported to be more biologically available, these methylation processes in aquatic or sedimentary environments, together with the tendency of ...

Methylmercury photodegradation in paddy water: An overlooked process mitigating methylmercury risks
Water ResearchPhotodegradation is critical to reduce the potent neurotoxic methylmercury (MeHg) in water and its subsequent accumulation along food chains. However, this process has been largely ignored in rice paddies, which are hotspots of MeHg production and receive about a quarter of the world's developed freshwater resources.

The effects of methylmercury on the developing brain
Progress in Neurobiology, 1989In an attempt to elucidate the mechanisms of methylmercury (MeHg) action on the developing brain, MeHg effects on neuronal migration and on proliferative neuroepithelial germinal cells within the ventricular zone of telencephalic vesicles were investigated in C57BL/6J mice.

Mercury is a naturally occurring element found in the Earth’s crust, air, soil, and water. Since the Earth’s formation, volcanic eruptions, weathering of rocks, and burning coal have caused mercury to be released into the environment. Once released, certain types of bacteria in the environment can change mercury into methylmercury.

Congenital abnormalities in methylmercury poisoning
Environmental Research, 1975Abstract This study was undertaken to determine the teratogenic potential of methylmercury on chick embryogenesis. Methylmercuric chloride was dissolved in sodium bicarbonate (.2%) and administered to the chick embryos at doses ranging from .0009 to .010 mg per egg. The injections were made at days 2 and 3 of incubation (Groups A and B).
