•Climate change will not have an important impact on elemental mercury levels•Hg2+ levels will change up to 50% in the future due to climate change•Rainfall changes will dominate the future climate-related changes of mercury deposition•The changes will be quite variable in space•Small increases of mercury deposition are expected in the Eastern US d...
Kontaminace půdy, podzemních a povrchových vod, vegetace a potravin (ovoce, zelenina, houby, ryby) rtutí v okolí uzavřeného dolu Malachov na středním Slovensku byla zkoumána v této studii. Půdní typ byl klasifikován jako kambizem (rendzina). Maximální koncentrace rtuti (44,24 mg.kg-1) byly zjištěny v půdě poblíž starých hornických aktivit na lokali...

Total mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) levels were determined in the muscle of four commercialised exported fish species Thunnus albacares (yellowfin tuna), Xiphias gladius (swordfish), Makaira indica (black marlin) and Lutjanus sp (red snapper) collected from the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka, during July 2009-March 2010 and measured by atomic a...

From existing databases, we compiled and evaluated 604 total mercury (Hg) levels in the eggs and blood of 17 species of marine foraging birds from 35 Gulf of Maine islands to provide baseline data and to determine the best tissue, age class, and species for future biomonitoring. While mean Hg levels in most species did not exceed adverse effects th...

Seabirds, as long-lived top predators, accumulate contaminants such as mercury (Hg), an established endocrine disruptor. In long lived species hormonal secretion varies with age; therefore, Hg-induced endocrine disruption may be exacerbated in some age classes. Here we investigated relationships between blood total Hg and luteinizing hormone (LH, a...

Analytical aspects of the determination of inorganic mercury (Hg) species by thermal desorption followed by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) detection were investigated in this work. Characteristic Hg release curves of the following species were observed: Hg0, HgCl2, HgO, HgSO4, HgS, and the Hg bound to humic acids. Particular attention was ded...

The current state of the problem of replacing the primary explosives used in industrial products for more secure and the necessity of such a change because of the high toxicity of metals currently used in standard means of initiation are discussed. Problems of toxicity of metals used in the primary explosives are also addressed.
