Total mercury concentrations in an industrialized catchment, the Thur River basin (north-eastern France): geochemical background level and contamination factors [PDF]

, 2003
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 ...

Methylmercury uptake and degradation by methanotrophs [PDF]

, 2017
Methylmercury (CH3Hg+) is a potent neurotoxin produced by certain anaerobic microorganisms in natural environments. Although numerous studies have characterized the basis of mercury (Hg) methylation, no studies have examined CH3Hg+ degradation by ...

Effect of Biochar and Activated Carbon Amendments on Gaseous Mercury Emissions of Soil and Mercury Methylation Rates in Sediment [PDF]

, 2015
Mercury is a pervasive global contaminant with a complex biogeochemical cycle. In this biogeochemical cycle, methylmercury (MeHg+) tends to biomagnify and concentrate in fish and seafood consumed by humans.

Removal of steroid estrogens from municipal wastewater in a pilot scale expanded granular sludge blanket reactor and anaerobic membrane bioreactor [PDF]

, 2015
Anaerobic treatment of municipal wastewater offers the prospect of a new paradigm by reducing aeration costs and minimizing sludge production. It has been successfully applied in warm climates, but does not always achieve the desired outcomes in ...

The role of antibiotic-mercury interactions in wetlands: a review of methylation processes and ecological implications

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Antibiotics and Hg, as common environmental contaminants, are prevalent in different environmental media, including water and soil. Their collective pollution presents potential hazards to ecosystems and human health.

Identification of sex-specific DNA methylation changes driven by specific chemicals in cord blood in a Faroese birth cohort

Epigenetics, 2018
Faroe islanders consume marine foods contaminated with methylmercury (MeHg), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and other toxicants associated with chronic disease risks.

Impact of mercury atmospheric deposition on soils and streams in a mountainous catchment (Vosges, France) polluted by chlor-alkali industrial activity: The important trapping role of the organic matter [PDF]

, 2006
Total atmospheric Hg contamination in a French mountainous catchment upstream from a chlor-alkali industrial site was assessed using Hg concentrations in the deepest soil horizon, in the stream bottom sediments, in river waters and in bryophytes.

Comparison of neurons derived from mouse P19, rat PC12 and human SH-SY5Y cells in the assessment of chemical- and toxin-induced neurotoxicity

BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2017
Background Exposure to chemicals might be toxic to the developing brain. There is a need for simple and robust in vitro cellular models for evaluation of chemical-induced neurotoxicity as a complement to traditional studies on animals.

Terrestrial organic matter input causes dual effects on methylmercury accumulation in coastal planktonic food webs

Communications Earth & Environment
Methylmercury (MeHg) accumulation in aquatic food webs is a key pathway for human exposure. We examined how terrestrially derived organic matter (tOM) influences MeHg bioaccumulation in coastal planktonic food webs by measuring MeHg bioaccumulation ...
