Despite falling global mercury emissions, mercury levels in Arctic wildlife continue to rise. A new study reveals that ocean currents are delivering legacy mercury pollution from distant regions like ...

Mercury (Hg) is a globally spread trace metal due to its long atmospheric residence time. Yet, our understanding of atmospheric processes (e.g., redox reactions and deposition) driving Hg cycling is ...

Even as global emissions plateau, new research shows that wildlife in the Arctic is exposed to rising levels, posing a risk ...

Despite global cuts to mercury emissions, Arctic wildlife are accumulating toxic levels as century-old pollution rides ocean ...

Despite global reductions in mercury emissions, mercury concentrations in Arctic wildlife continue to rise. A study published ...

Mercury concentrations in Arctic wildlife are on the rise despite reductions in mercury release, according to a new study ...

We've monitored mercury in Arctic animals for over 40 years. Despite declining global emissions since the 1970s, we see no corresponding decrease in ...
