Effects of Methylmercury exposure in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes
AIMS Environmental Science, 2017 Mercury-containing compounds are environmental pollutants that have become increasingly consequential in the Arctic regions of North America due to processes of climate change increasing their release and availability at northern latitudes.

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.Abstract Exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) on breeding grounds may have numerous deleterious effects on birds, including neurotoxicity, disruption of hormones, and impaired reproduction. But it is unknown if MeHg exposure on wintering grounds can carry over and produce negative effects on the following spring breeding seasonal transition.

Methylmercury Exposure and Health Effects [PDF]
Journal of Preventive Medicine & Public Health, 2012 Methylmercury is a hazardous substance that is of interest with regard to environmental health, as inorganic mercury circulating in the general environment is dissolved into freshwater and seawater, condensed through the food chain, ingested by humans, and consequently affects human health.

A Novel Role of MerC in Methylmercury Transport and Phytoremediation of Methylmercury Contamination
Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2017 MerC, encoded by merC in the transposon Tn21 mer operon, is a heavy metal transporter with potential applications for phytoremediation of heavy metals such as mercuric ion and cadmium. In this study, we demonstrate that MerC also acts as a transporter for methylmercury.

Climate-driven sulfate export in alpine watersheds may stimulate methylmercury production
Environmental Research LettersClimate change is increasing sulfate export and changing wetland extent in mountain regions. These changes may increase microbially mediated production of the neurotoxic substance methylmercury due to enhanced sulfate metabolism in mountain environments.
