mercury

Scientists quantify a previously overlooked driver of human-made mercury emissions

Research establishes a natural baseline for mercury in the atmosphere by estimating emissions from volcanic eruptions

Solution to toxic environments closer with waste materials

Like rings in a tree trunk, a narwhal's tusk provides a window into changing conditions in the Arctic

Local research project spurs first nationwide survey of the toxic metal

Environmental factors, such as rising sea temperatures and over-fishing, impact levels of mercury in fish

Research could help clarify why methylmercury concentrations in tuna vary geographically

Burned material in forests might help sequester mercury that otherwise would be released into the environment

Researchers say industrial sea fishing may be exposing people in coastal and island nations to excessively high levels of mercury

Methylmercury is a form of mercury that, in high enough amounts, can cause neurological and reproductive problems in adults, and developmental issues in infants and young children
