Health Information and the Choice of Fish Species: An Experiment Measuring the Impact of Risk and Benefit Information, April 2006 [PDF]
, 2006 An experiment was conducted in France to evaluate the impact of health information on consumers’ choice between two different types of fish. Successive messages revealing risks (methylmercury) and benefits (omega-3s) of consuming the fish, along with ...

Voltammetric and other properties of methylmercury compounds and distribution of methylmercury in environmental samples [PDF]
, 1975 The reduction of aqueous methylmercury solutions has been studied using polarography and cyclic voltammetry at the dropping mercury electrode. By scanning a broad range of pH, pCl and methylmercury concentrations, a detailed reduction mechanism has been ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Peixoto de Azevedo River, located in northern Mato Grosso, southern Brazilian Amazon, has a long history of artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM). This study evaluated total mercury (THg) concentrations in fish tissues to assess biomagnification and potential risks.

Mercury-selenium relationships in liver of Guiana dolphin: the possible role of Kupffer cells in the detoxification process by tiemannite formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Top marine predators present high mercury concentrations in their tissues as consequence of biomagnification of the most toxic form of this metal, methylmercury (MeHg).

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) is a persistent environmental heavy metal and a major public health concern because it persists in the body for long periods and gradually accumulates in vital organs, particularly the liver, kidneys, and brain. Chronic Cd exposure promotes the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which ultimately leads to ...

Ecotoxicology of Methylmercury: A Transdisciplinary Challenge [PDF]
EcoHealth, 2008 Many of us vividly recall the devastating effects of point source mercury (Hg) pollution in Minimata Bay, Japan, documented by poignant photos of mothers caring for their children afflicted with crippling deformities. From 1952 to 1968, mercury waste from the production of acetaldehyde and vinyl chloride was discharged (200–600 tons) into Minimata Bay.

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.

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a link between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and environmental mercury (Hg) exposure. Colombia has a well‐documented history of artisanal and small‐scale gold mining, where Hg exposure affects miners and nearby riverside and urban populations. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of polymorphisms in
