TL;DR: Rice is an important route of human MeHg exposure in southern China, especially for the rural population in inland area, and its relative contribution to MeHG exposure increased significantly from coastal to inland area.

TL;DR: In this article, the main advances in the study of Hg stable isotopes with particular emphasis placed on a brief explanation of the Hg isotope analytical techniques, possible Hg-isotope fractionation mechanisms observed in both natural and experimental processes, and the application prospects of the stable isotope in environmental geosciences.

TL;DR: In this paper, the average mercury content in coal from this Chinese province is 0.53 mg kg-1, which is substantially higher than coal produced in any other province of China.

TL;DR: Using Hg isotope compositions, it is estimated that river deliveries of Hg from industrial and urban sources and natural soils could be the main inputs of HG to the PRE, however, the use of H g isotopes as tracers in source attribution could be limited because of the isotope fractionation by natural processes in the SCS.

TL;DR: In this paper, a flooded rice paddy in the Wanshan Hg mining region of eastern Guizhou, China, in the rice-planted (2008 and 2009) and fallow (2009) sections of the same paddy was investigated.
