Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-ecosystem study shows rapid fish-mercury response to changes in mercury deposition
R. Harris,John W. M. Rudd,Marc Amyot,Christopher L. Babiarz,Ken G. Beaty,Paul J. Blanchfield,R.A. Bodaly,Brian A. Branfireun,Cynthia C. Gilmour,Jennifer A. Graydon,Andrew Heyes,Holger Hintelmann,James P. Hurley,Carol A. Kelly,David P. Krabbenhoft,Steve E. Lindberg,Robert P. Mason,Michael J. Paterson,Cheryl L. Podemski,Art Robinson,Ken A. Sandilands,George R. Southworth,Vincent L. St. Louis,Michael T. Tate +23 more
TL;DR: Mercury emissions reductions will yield rapid (years) reductions in fish methylmercury concentrations and will yield concomitant reductions in risk, however, a full response will be delayed by the gradual export of mercury stored in watersheds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial mercury methylation in Antarctic sea ice.
Caitlin M. Gionfriddo,Michael T. Tate,Ryan R. Wick,Mark B. Schultz,Adam Zemla,Michael P. Thelen,Robyn Schofield,David P. Krabbenhoft,Kathryn E. Holt,John W. Moreau +9 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that Antarctic sea ice can harbour a microbial source of methylmercury in the Southern Ocean and the marine microaerophilic bacterium Nitrospina is identified as a potential mercury methylator within sea ice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and temporal patterns of mercury concentrations in freshwater fish across the Western United States and Canada.
Collin A. Eagles-Smith,Joshua T. Ackerman,James J. Willacker,Michael T. Tate,Michelle A. Lutz,Jacob A. Fleck,A. Robin Stewart,James G. Wiener,David C. Evers,Jesse M. Lepak,Jay A Davis,Colleen Flanagan Pritz +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that fish mercury exposure is widespread throughout Western US and Canada, and that species, habitat type, and region play an important role in influencing ecological risk of mercury in aquatic ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of atmospheric mercury speciation and deposition at nine sites across central and eastern North America
Mark A. Engle,Michael T. Tate,David P. Krabbenhoft,James J. Schauer,Allan Kolker,James B. Shanley,Michael H. Bothner +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented >5 cumulative years of tropospheric mercury (Hg) speciation measurements, over the period of 2003-2009, for eight sites in the central and eastern United States and one site in coastal Puerto Rico.
OtherDOI
Methods for the preparation and analysis of solids and suspended solids for total mercury
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method to solve the problem of homonymity in homonym identification, i.e., homonym-of-individuals-with-groups.
