TLDR
The primary dietary source of neurotoxic mercury compounds is via the ingestion of methylmercury species accumulated in fish, which has been linked to neurological damage (Minamata disease) and increased risk of myocardial infarction.Abstract:
The primary dietary source of neurotoxic mercury compounds is via the ingestion of methylmercury species accumulated in fish. Methylmercury from fish has been linked to neurological damage (Minamata disease) ([ 1 ][1]) and increased risk of myocardial infarction ([ 2 ][2]). Despite its importance,read more

Tools and tactics for the optical detection of mercuric ion.
TL;DR: The Hg(II) Detector simplifies the experimental setup by enabling a single amplifier to be switched between the Oligonucleotide-Based and DNAzyme-Based detectors.

The Toxicology of Mercury and Its Chemical Compounds
Thomas W. Clarkson,Laszlo Magos +1 more
TL;DR: This review covers the toxicology of mercury and its compounds and leads to general discussion of evolutionary aspects of mercury, protective and toxic mechanisms, and ends on a note that mercury is still an “element of mystery.”

Colorimetric Detection of Mercuric Ion (Hg2+) in Aqueous Media using DNA-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles
TL;DR: A highly selective and sensitive colorimetric detection method for Hg that relies on thymidine–Hg–thymidine coordination chemistry and complementary DNA–Au NPs with deliberately designed T–T mismatches is presented.

Nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots: facile synthesis and application as a "turn-off" fluorescent probe for detection of Hg2+ ions.
Ruizhong Zhang,Wei Chen +1 more
TL;DR: The selectivity experiments reveal that the fluorescent sensor is specific for Hg(2+) even with interference by high concentrations of other metal ions, and can be successfully applied to the determination of Hg (2+) in tap water and real lake water samples.

Methylmercury and total mercury in tissues of arctic marine mammals
TL;DR: A spatial trend of higher MeHg levels in western compared to eastern Arctic belugas and ringed seals was found which followed a similar trend observed for total mercury, and factors which could explain this trend are discussed.
