A review of global environmental mercury processes in response to human and natural perturbations
We review recent progress in our understanding of the global cycling of mercury (Hg), including best estimates of Hg concentrations and pool sizes in major environmental compartments and exchange processes within and between these reservoirs. Recent advances include the availability of new global datasets covering areas of the world where environmental Hg data were previously lacking; integration of these data into global and regional models is c…
Spatial and temporal patterns in trace element deposition to lakes in the Athabasca oil sands region (Alberta, Canada)
The mining and processing of the Athabasca oil sands (Alberta, Canada) has been occurring for decades; however, a lack of consistent regional monitoring has obscured the long-term environmental impact. Here, we present sediment core results to reconstruct spatial and temporal patterns in trace element deposition to lakes in the Athabasca oil sands region. Early mining operations (during the 1970s and 1980s) led to elevated V and Pb inputs to lake…
Potential Sources of Monomethyl Mercury in Arctic and Subarctic Seawater
(Hg) IS A HEAVY METAL that exists in many different forms in the environment. One of these forms, monomethyl mercury (MMHg), is a strong vertebrate neurotoxin that bioaccumulates through food webs. In some Canadian Arctic marine mammals, MMHg has increased to levels that may be toxic to northern peoples who consume these species as traditional foods (INAC, 2003). Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine the sources of Hg contamination in north…
Results of the Expanded HIV Risk Factor Assessment Project (Ehrap)
An objective of EHRAP was to evaluate the HIV risk factor information reported to CDC through routine surveillance. HIV/AIDS surveillance programmes used medical and ancillary records to determine if information on HIV risk factors can be found for surveillance. Surveillance staff from Mississippi, South Carolina, and Virginia collected data on risk factors for HIV infection on a sample of cases diagnosed during 1998 and 1999. Overall percent agr…
