Mercury in the environment: Biogeochemical transformation, ecological impacts, human risks, and remediation strategies

Mercury (Hg), a pervasive environmental pollutant, poses a significant threat to ecosystems and human health due to its complex biogeochemical transformations. Emitted from both natural sources and anthropogenic activities, Hg undergoes atmospheric transport, deposition, and intricate chemical conve...
