Species-specific mercury speciation in billfishes and its implications for food safety monitoring and dietary advice

Environment International
Humans are exposed to toxic methylmercury mainly by consuming marine fish, in particular top predator species like billfishes or tunas. In seafood risk assessments, mercury is assumed to be mostly present as organic methylmercury in predatory fishes; yet

Recognizing and Preventing Overexposure to Methylmercury from Fish and Seafood Consumption: Information for Physicians

Journal of Toxicology, 2011
Fish is a valuable source of nutrition, and many people would benefit from eating fish regularly. But some people eat a lot of fish, every day or several meals per week, and thus can run a significant risk of overexposure to methylmercury. Current advice

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

Dietary Exposure to Mercury and Arsenic From Traditional Qatari Foods: Implications for Food Safety and Public Health

Food Safety and Health, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 125-137, January 2026.
In the Qatari cuisine, seafood showed significantly elevated mercury concentrations, whereas arsenic was more evenly distributed across the different foods. Although arsenic exposure was low (HQ < 0.2), mercury posed a high risk (HQ 7.9–9.3; HI > 8), highlighting seafood as the dominant dietary source of heavy metal exposure. ABSTRACT Heavy metals have
