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.

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.

Global mercury dataset with predicted methylmercury concentrations in seafoods during 1995–2022

Scientific Data
Mercury exposure poses significant threats to human health, particularly in its organic form, methylmercury (MeHg). Diet is the main pathway for human MeHg exposure, especially through seafood consumption.

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 ...
