Dietary mercury intake, the IL23R rs10889677 polymorphism, and the risk of gastric cancer in a Korean population: a hospital-based case-control study [PDF]

Epidemiology and Health
OBJECTIVES Mercury can stimulate immune responses through T helper 17 (Th17). The gene IL23R is a key factor in Th17 function, which may also contribute to digestive tract diseases.

Maternal Prenatal Supplements Intake and Dietary Sources and Their Relation to Autism Spectrum Disorder in the Population of Bangladesh

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Consuming prenatal supplements, farmed chicken/eggs, and vegetables during pregnancy and the first 3 years of life showed protective relation with ASD compared with healthy controls. Consuming farmed fish and fruits during the same period, alongside maternal substance/drug misuse during pregnancy linked to increased ASD odds.

Morphine protects against methylmercury intoxication: a role for opioid receptors in oxidative stress? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Mercury is an extremely dangerous environmental contaminant responsible for episodes of human intoxication throughout the world. Methylmercury, the most toxic compound of this metal, mainly targets the central nervous system, accumulating preferentially ...

Chemical Characterization of Toxic Elements in Plastic Utensils: Key Insights and Health Impacts

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 5, May 2026.
Toxic elements in plastic utensils are assessed using portable X‐ray fluorescence and specific migration tests with water and 3% acetic acid as food simulants. Cadmium, lead, arsenic, and mercury are detected in the utensils, and migration results show exceedances of specific migration limits, particularly for lead, mercury, and cadmium. These findings

Molecular composition of organic matter controls methylmercury formation in boreal lakes

Nature Communications, 2017
Neurotoxic methylmercury can be found in high levels in aquatic systems, but the role of organic matter in methylmercury formation is not well understood. Here, Bravoet al.

Mercury speciation and safety of fish from important fishing locations in the Czech Republic

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2012
The aim of the study was to describe the distribution of total mercury in the tissues of fish originating from important Czech fishing locations and to determine the level of methylmercury as a percentage of total mercury (Hg speciation).

Monitoring mercury across the National Wildlife Refuge System using a biosentinel approach

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
We measured mercury concentrations in 1,356 dragonfly larvae collected from 30 National Wildlife Refuges across the United States and found wide variability among refuges, spanning the full range reported for other protected lands. Using a management‐focused mercury impairment index, 80% of refuges contained sites classified as moderate or higher risk.

Effects of Temperature on Mercury Methylation and Demethylation in Boreal Wetland Soils

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Wetlands are critical sites for methylmercury (MeHg) production, a neurotoxin that bioaccumulates in organisms and biomagnifies in aquatic food webs. Net MeHg production in wetland soil depends on the balance between microbially mediated MeHg production and the degradation of MeHg through both microbial and abiotic pathways.
