Long term exposure to mercury may impair health and memory of dentists
Long term exposure to mercury may impair kidney function and memory among dentists, suggests research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. View More (2002-04-25)
Older dental fillings contain form of mercury unlikely to be toxic
A new study on the surface chemistry of silver-colored, mercury-based dental fillings suggests that the surface forms of mercury may be less toxic than previously thought. It appears online in ACS' journal Chemical Research in Toxicology. View More (2009-12-10)
Older dental fillings contain form of mercury unlikely to be toxic

Mopping up mercury - a new solution to an old problem
A pilot plant employing a new type of bioreactor has successfully been used to treat mercury-contaminated wastewater in Germany. Dr Irene Wagner-Döbler and colleagues from the GBF National Research Centre for Biotechnology, Germany, developed the technical scale plant based on previous work on mercury-resistant bacteria. Biofilms of bacteria were used in packed bed bioreactors to treat... View More (2001-04-01)
Groundbreaking Canada-US study proves link between emissions and mercury pollution in fish
A groundbreaking environmental study to be published in a prestigious American science journal proves that mercury atmospheric emissions will end up in fish in as little as three years. View More (2007-09-18)
Mercury contamination found in stranded Victorian dolphins
Monash University research into heavy metal contaminant levels in dolphins from Port Phillip Bay and the Gippsland Lakes has revealed high mercury levels may be a contributing factor to dolphin deaths. View More (2008-06-10)
Mercury levels are increasing in popular species of game fish in Lake Erie
Mercury levels in a popular species of game fish in Lake Erie are increasing after two decades of steady decline, scientists are reporting. View More (2010-07-15)
Mercury levels are increasing in popular species of game fish in Lake Erie
Scientists are reporting that mercury levels in a popular species of game fish in Lake Erie are increasing after two decades of steady decline. The study, the most comprehensive to date on mercury levels in Great Lakes fish, is in ACS' Environmental Science & Technology, a semi-monthly journal. View More (2010-05-21)
Mercury converted to its most toxic form in ocean waters
University of Alberta-led research has confirmed that a relatively harmless inorganic form of mercury found worldwide in ocean water is transformed into a potent neurotoxin in the seawater itself. View More (2011-04-28)
Mercury releases into the atmosphere from ancient to modern times
In pursuit of riches and energy over the last 5,000 years, humans have released into the environment 385,000 tons of mercury, the source of numerous health concerns, according to a new study that challenges the idea that releases of the metal are on the decline. View More (2011-12-15)
International team shows mercury concentrations in fish respond quickly to increased deposition
A joint Canadian-American research team have, for the first time, demonstrated that mercury concentrations in fish respond directly to changes in atmospheric deposition of the chemical. View More (2007-09-18)
Nanoporous 'sponge' removes mercury from offshore produced waters
Contaminated water resulting from offshore oil and gas platform drilling contains mercury and other toxic heavy metals. View More (2006-03-30)
The first evidence of pre-industrial mercury pollution in the Andes
The study of ancient lake sediment from high altitude lakes in the Andes has revealed for the first time that mercury pollution occurred long before the start of the Industrial Revolution. View More (2009-05-19)
Mercury in Mackenzie River delta dramatically higher than previously believed
University of Alberta researchers conducting a water study in the Mackenzie River Delta have found a dramatically higher delivery of mercury from the Mackenzie River to the Arctic Ocean than determined in previous studies. View More (2009-06-17)
Air Above Dead Sea Contains Very High Levels of Oxidized Mercury
In Hebrew, the Dead Sea is called Yam ha-Melah, the "sea of salt." Now measurements show that the sea's salt has profound effects on the chemistry of the air above its surface. View More (2010-11-30)
Exposure to mercury before birth may cause high blood pressure
Increased exposure to mercury can occur in communities whose diet is based on seafood. Following a study in the Faeroes,2 where the traditional diet includes a large element of whale-meat, an international research project co-funded by the European Union under its Environment and Climate research programme, examined 149 children from a fishing village on Madeira. Their mercury exposure comes... View More (1999-06-08)
Upper atmosphere facilitates changes that let mercury enter food chain
Humans pump thousands of tons of vapor from the metallic element mercury into the atmosphere each year, and it can remain suspended for long periods before being changed into a form that is easily removed from the atmosphere. View More (2011-12-19)
Dental Material Amalgam Is Not Guilty Of Disturbances
A careful study by a group of investigators of the University of Giessen suggests that there is no indication for mercury intoxication or amalgam allergy as a cause of somatic complaints. To deepen the understanding of the numerous unspecific complaints which are related to the dental material amalgam both in patients and physicians, an interdisciplinary case-control study regarding...

MESSENGER flyby of Mercury
At 2:04 p.m. EST on Monday, MESSENGER skimmed 200 kilometers (124 miles) above the surface of Mercury in the first of three flybys of the planet. View More (2008-01-15)
Glowing Results-Pitt Researchers Use Fluorescence to Develop Fast, Simple Method for Detecting Mercury in Fish and Dental Fillings
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have developed a simple and quick method for detecting mercury in fish and dental samples, two substances at the center of public concern about mercury contamination. View More (2008-11-19)
