Mercury in coals might emit into the environment from coal combination, and finally cause environmental pollution. In this paper, 26 coal samples were selected from No. 1 which is coal in the Shanxi Formation of Zhangji and Xinjier mines in the Huainan coalfield. The mineralogical and geochemical components of coal samples were determined by DMA-80...

Mercury (Hg) methylation genes (hgcAB) mediate the formation of the toxic methylmercury and have been identified from diverse environments, including freshwater and marine ecosystems, Arctic permafrost, forest and paddy soils, coal-ash amended sediments, chlor-alkali plants discharges and geothermal springs. Here we present the first attempt at a s...

In Sweden´s society today, there is a considerably amount of invisible waste in circulation that may contain mercury, such as electrical waste. In a typical garbagebag half of the content counts as hazardous waste that ends up in combustion. There have been changes in regulation surrounding mercury in recent years from EU, yet mercury is still nota...

Historical mining activities in Svalbard (79°N/12°E) have caused local mercury (Hg) contamination. To address the potential immunomodulatory effects of environmental Hg on Arctic organisms, we collected newborn barnacle goslings (Branta leucopsis) and herded them in either a control or mining site, differing in Hg levels. An additional group at the...

The biogenic methylation of inorganic, divalent mercury (Hg(II)) by methylating microorganisms leads to formation and bioaccumulation of monomethyl mercury (MeHg) in the environment and can cause severe damage to ecosystems and human health. Diverse microorganisms carry the gene sequence hgcAB and are able to methylate Hg(II) intracellularly. The i...

The Réunion harriers is an endemic raptor on Réunion Island. Several threats endanger its population, poisoning by rodenticides being considered as the main one currently. No information is available on its exposure to other chemicals notably trace metal elements such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and cadmium (Cd). The Réunion harrier is still victim...

The quantitative imaging of trace elements in biological samples can bring information on their assimilation pathways and help understanding their toxicity or essentiality. This study presents the development of two quantitative LA-ICP MS methodologies and their comparison for Se, Hg, Cu, Zn and Mo imaging in rainbow trout. The first method is base...

Fish tissue levels have to comply with environmental quality standards (EQSs) within the European Water Framework Directive. However, within monitoring, contaminants are sometimes measured in a different tissue than the tissue for which the environmental (whole fish) or human (fillet (equivalent to muscle tissue)) quality standard is set. Tissue co...

OBJECTIVES: The authors aimed to evaluate whether blood cadmium (B-Cd), lead (B-Pb) and mercury (B-Hg) in children differ regionally in 9 countries, and to identify factors correlating with exposure. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The authors performed a cross-sectional study of children aged 7-14 years, living in 2007-2008 in urban, rural, or potentially p...
