TLDR
This analysis suggests that while atmospheric deposition is the main source of inorganic Hg to open ocean systems, most of the CH₃Hg accumulating in ocean fish is derived from in situ production within the upper waters (<1000 m), and that the deeper waters of the oceans are responding slowly to changes in atmospheric Hg inputs.About:

Mercury as a Global Pollutant: Sources, Pathways, and Effects
TL;DR: Understanding of sources, atmosphere-land-ocean Hg dynamics and health effects are synthesized, and integration of Hg science with national and international policy efforts is needed to target efforts and evaluate efficacy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an estimate of the total amount and spatial distribution of anthropogenic mercury in the global ocean based on oceanographic measurements of mercury and related parameters from several expeditions including data from recent GEOTRACES cruises.

Legacy impacts of all‐time anthropogenic emissions on the global mercury cycle
TL;DR: In this article, a global biogeochemical model with fully coupled atmospheric, terrestrial, and oceanic Hg reservoirs is presented to better understand human influence on Hg cycling and timescales for responses.

Cycling of mercury in the environment: Sources, fate, and human health implications: A review
Felix Beckers,Jörg Rinklebe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes recent recent studies on Hg toxicity and its effects on the human health through the consumption of contaminated fish and rice since methylmercury is a potent neurotoxin and elemental Hg vapor is harmful for the central nervous system.

TL;DR: Using inorganic carbon measurements from an international survey effort in the 1990s and a tracer-based separation technique, the authors estimate a global oceanic anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) sink for the period from 1800 to 1994 of 118 19 petagrams of carbon.

Treatise on geochemistry
TL;DR: This extensively updated new edition of the widely acclaimed Treatise on Geochemistry has increased its coverage beyond the wide range of geochemical subject areas in the first edition, with five new volumes which include: the history of the atmosphere, geochemistry of mineral deposits, archaeology and anthropology, organic geochemistry and analytical geochemistry as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The effects on brain function associated with prenatal methylmercury exposure therefore appear widespread, and early dysfunction is detectable at exposure levels currently considered safe.
