Abiotic Reduction of Mercury(II) in the Presence of Sulfidic Mineral Suspensions
Monomethylmercury (CH3Hg) is a neurotoxic pollutant that biomagnifies in aquatic food webs. In sediments, the production of CH3Hg depends on the bacterial activity of mercury (Hg) methylating bacteria and the amount of bioavailable inorganic divalent mercury (HgII). Biotic and abiotic reduction of H...
