Studies show that mercury (Hg) concentrations in the upper ocean (0-1000m) has now become 2.5 times that of pre-industrial level. Since the inorganic Hg could be transformed into methylmercury (MeHg, the most toxic Hg form) through microbial and chemical methylation, elevated inorganic Hg is expected to increase the production of MeHg in the oceans. The produced MeHg could be bio-accumulated in...
