Inhaltsangabe

An overview of current research in the environmental and public health effects of mercury, a powerful neurotoxin and increasingly prevalent pollutant. Chapters cover methods for detecting and monitoring the presence of mercury in water, soil, and tissues, mercurys effects in a range of ecosystems, and matters of public policy, including the first thorough coverage of mercury risk in American reservoirs and on tribal lands. By integrating the diverse fields involved in studying mercury cycling (e.g. physics, biogeochemistry, public health, economics, sociology, global change biology, etc.), this volume fosters a more holistic, integrative approach to studying and understanding this important environmental problem that is attracting increasing political attention.
