Use of a new enrichment nanosorbent for speciation of mercury by FI-CV-ICP-MS [PDF]
, 2015 Mercury is one of the most toxic environmental pollutants and its effects on human and ecosystem health are well known. All mercury species are toxic, with organic mercury compounds generally being more toxic than inorganic species.

Methylmercury sorption onto engineered materials
Journal of Environmental Management, 2019 Four commercially available sorbents (BioChar (BC), ThiolSAMMS® (TS), SediMite (SM), and Organoclay™ PM-199 (OC-199)) were tested for their ability to sorb methylmercury (MeHg) and MeHg complexed with dissolved organic matter (DOM). Testing sorption behavior with DOM is more representative of the environmental conditions and mercury speciation expected

Evaluation of agricultural ecosystem services in fallowing land based on farmers' participation and model simulation [PDF]
, 2012 Fallowing with green fertilizer can benefit agricultural ecosystem services (AES). Farmers in Taiwan do not implement fallow practices and plant green fertilizer because the current subsidy level (46,000 NT$ per ha) is too low to manage fallowing.

Deep sea cold seeps are a sink for mercury and source for methylmercury
Communications Earth & EnvironmentThe effect of seafloor cold seeps on the biogeochemical cycling of mercury (Hg) remains enigmatic. Here we demonstrate substantial enrichments of mercury and methylmercury, along with the presence of microbes capable of metabolizing mercury in sediments ...
