On the Tris-methylmercury-oxonium Compounds [PDF]
Croatica Chemica Acta, 1957 The preparation and properties of tris-methylmercury-oxonium fluoborate (CH3Hg)3OBF4 are described. A method for the preparation of methylmercury oxide (CH3Hg)2O by dehydration of methylmercury hydroxide is given. The crystals of tris-methylmercury-oxonium fluoborite have a trigonal symmetry, the hexagonal cell being a = 23.85 A, c = 10.72 A, z = 18 ...

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.

A Mechanistic Review of Environmental Stressor to Decode Their Effect on Congenital Malformations: A Developmental Toxicity. [PDF]
J Biochem Mol ToxicolEnvironmental toxicants may disrupt developmental pathways via strong molecular docking interactions with hub FGF proteins (FGF9 and FGF4) like dibenzo‐p‐dioxin (−7.2 kcal/mol) at the ASN146 residue of FGF9, driving congenital malformations as revealed by PPI networks and toxicity profiling.

Sedimentary Mercury Enrichments as a Tracer of Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 247-262., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Long-term exposure to methylmercury and psychiatric symptoms in residents of Minamata, Japan [PDF]
, 2011 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.

Mercury speciation in soils of the industrialised Thur River catchment (Alsace, France) [PDF]
, 2006 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.

International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2015 Introduction Mercury poisoning causes hearing loss in humans and animals. Acute and long-term exposures produce irreversible peripheral and central auditory system damage, and mercury in its various forms of presentation in the environment is ototoxic.

Environmental Mercury and Its Toxic Effects [PDF]
Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, 2014 Mercury exists naturally and as a man-made contaminant. The release of processed mercury can lead to a progressive increase in the amount of atmospheric mercury, which enters the atmospheric-soil-water distribution cycles where it can remain in ...
