Mercury (Hg) compounds target both cysteine (Cys) and selenocysteine (Sec) residues in peptides and proteins. Thus, the components of the two major cellular antioxidant systems – glutathione (GSH) and thioredoxin (Trx) systems – are likely targets for ...

Background In light of the vulnerability of the developing brain, mixture risk assessment (MRA) for the evaluation of developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) should be implemented, since infants and children are co-exposed to more than one chemical at a time ...

Customary harvest plays a vital role in expressing Māori identity, maintaining relationships with place and whakapapa, and transmitting mātauranga across generations. However, re‐engaging with traditional practices can be constrained by ecological risks and regulatory frameworks, particularly in protected areas.

Chlor-alkali industrial contamination and riverine transport of mercury: Distribution and partitioning of mercury between water, suspended matter, and bottom sediment of the Thur River, France [PDF]
Total dissolved and total particulate Hg mass balances were estimated during one hydrological period (July 2001–June 2002) in the Thur River basin, which is heavily polluted by chlor-alkali industrial activity.

Frozen Soil Hydrological Processes and Their Effects: A Review and Synthesis
Abstract Frozen soils, including seasonally frozen ground and permafrost, are rapidly changing under a warming climate, with cascading effects on water, energy, and carbon cycles. We synthesize recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen‐soil hydrology, emphasizing freeze–thaw dynamics, infiltration regimes and preferential flow,

Contaminants in Unionid Mussels from the Confluence of the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers [PDF]
Unionid mussels were collected from three mussel beds near the confluence of the Mississippi and Illinois rivers in 2003 to evaluate concentrations of selected elements and organic compounds in three abundant species and to preliminarily investigate the ...

Analytical methods for mercury speciation in several matrixes: a review [PDF]
Mercury is one of the hazardous contaminants that may be present in the environment. Moreover, its toxicological effects are strongly dependent on the chemical form of the element, being the organic species the most toxic.

Mercury and selenium relationship in a tropical estuarine fish
Aquatic systems have been considered as final sinks for persistent and bioaccumulative toxicants (PBTs), such as metals and organohalogen compounds. Among the trace elements, non-essential metals deserve special attention due to their toxicity.
