Mercury Analysis and Concentration in Seawater of Southern Sumbawa [PDF]
. Current concerns over the negative impacts of Hg in the environment have led to the rapid progress of studies in this area. This progress has been directed to obtain analysis techniques that are able to accurately quantify Mercury (Hg) at extremely low

Mercury speciation in soils of the industrialised Thur River catchment (Alsace, France) [PDF]
Methylmercury (MeHg) and total Hg (THg) concentrations in soil profiles were monitored in the Thur River basin (Alsace, France), where a chlor-alkali plant has been located in the city of Vieux-Thann since the 1930s.

Reduced tubulin tyrosination as an early marker of mercury toxicity in differentiating N2a cells [PDF]
The aims of this work were to compare the effects of methyl mercury chloride and Thimerosal on neurite/process outgrowth and microtubule proteins in differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma and rat C6 glioma cells.

Species sensitivity of zeolite minerals for uptake of mercury solutes [PDF]
The uptake of inorganic Hg2+ and organometallic CH3Hg+ from aqueous solutions by 11 different natural zeolites has been investigated using a batch distribution coefficient (Kd) method and supported by a preliminary voltammetric study.

Comparison of Blood and Brain Mercury Levels in Infant Monkeys Exposed to Methylmercury or Vaccines Containing Thimerosal [PDF]
Thimerosal is a preservative that has been used in manufacturing vaccines since the 1930s. Reports have indicated that infants can receive ethylmercury (in the form of thimerosal) at or above the U.S.

Long-term exposure to methylmercury and psychiatric symptoms in residents of Minamata, Japan [PDF]
Introduction: It is well-known that prenatal or postnatal exposure to methylmercury can produce neurological signs in adults and children, exemplified by a case of large-scale poisoning in Minamata, Japan, in the 1950s.

Total mercury concentrations in an industrialized catchment, the Thur River basin (north-eastern France): geochemical background level and contamination factors [PDF]
River bottom sediments and soils were collected from the industrialized Thur River basin (north-eastern France) to assess mercury contamination. The regional geochemical background level of total mercury was evaluated to calculate mercury contamination ...

Factors affecting methylmercury biomagnification by a widespread aquatic invertebrate predator, the phantom midge larvae Chaoborus [PDF]
MeHg biomagnification by the phantom midge Chaoborus in relation to MeHg concentrations in their prey and its migratory behavior was investigated in two Canadian Precambrian Shield lakes.
