Effects of environmental temperature change on mercury absorption in aquatic organisms with respect to climate warming.

摘要: Because of global warming, the quantity naturally generated mercury (Hg) will increase, subsequently methylation Hg existing in seawater may be enhanced, and content metal marine products rise which consequently results harm to human health. Studies effects temperatures on absorption have not been adequate. In this study, order observe temperature changes absorption, inorganic or methylmercury (MeHg) was added water tanks containing loaches. Loach survival rates decreased with rising temperatures, duration, exposure concentrations individuals exposed MeHg. The MeHg-treated group died sooner than Hg-exposed group. total MeHg significantly increased time both metal-exposed groups. had higher Hg-treated correlation coefficients for elevation were significant b...
