Abstract:

Abstract. The aim of this study was to define mechanisms involved in the luminal uptake of inorganic mercury in the kidney using isolated perfused straight (S2) segments of the proximal tubule. When mercuric conjugates of glutathione (GSH), cysteinylglycine, or cysteine (containing 203Hg2+) were perfused through the lumen, the rates of luminal disappearance flux (JD) of inorganic mercury were approximately 39, 53, and 102 fmol/min per mm, respectively. Thus, the rates of luminal uptake of mercury are greater when the mercury is in the form of a mercuric conjugate of cysteine than in the form o

Abstract:

The effects of mercury compounds on the spontaneous and potassium-evoked release of [3H]dopamine from mouse striatal slices have been examined. All mercury compounds examined produced concentration-dependent increases in the spontaneous release of [3H]dopamine, with an order of potency of methylmercury > mercuric (Hg2+) mercury >p-choloromercuribenzene sulfonic acid. Methylmercury had no effect on the 25 mM potassium evoked release of [3H]dopamine in the presence of 1.3 mM calcium. However, in calcium-free conditions, methylmercury significantly increased the potassium-evoked release of

Inverse vulcanization is a process in which highly abundant and low-cost elemental sulfur is copolymerized with an unsaturated organic molecule such as a polyene. This process has provided a variety of useful materials with high sulfur content—typically 50% or greater in sulfur by mass. These materials have garnered increasing interest in research as sorbents for mercury, due to the high affinity of sulfur for mercury. In this review, the features of mercury sorbents made by inverse vulcanization are presented. Additionally, case studies are provided to illustrate the variety of polymer archit

Abstract Mercury is notoriously difficult to form in Solar System simulations, due to its small mass and iron-rich composition. Smooth particle hydrodynamics simulations of collisions have found that a Mercury-like body could be formed by one or multiple giant impacts, but due to the chaotic nature of collisions, it is difficult to create a scenario where such impacts will take place. Recent work has found more success forming Mercury analogues by adding additional embryos near Mercury’s orbit.

The formation of dusty plasmas is also possible for lower latitudes, but only where the surface profile allows it.

Abstract:

Mercurous chloride (Hg2Cl2), or calomel, was prepared by direct synthesis from commercial mercury and mercuric chloride. The mercuric chloride mass fraction in the synthesized material is particularly small. The mercurous chloride vapor pressure was measured between 353 and 453 K by the Knudsen cell method. In order to obtain the mercurous chloride vapor pressure, we took into account the dissociation in the vapor phase into mercury and mercuric chloride. Our results are compared with those in the literature.Key words: mercurous chloride, calomel, vapor pressure, mass spectrometry, Knudsen cel

Abstract Mercury, a common wetland pollutant, can affect wildlife populations through acute toxicity or through physiological effects that modify behavior and negatively influence reproductive success. We compared body-feather mercury concentrations of free-living male and female adult White Ibises (Eudocimus albus) during three breeding seasons in the Florida Everglades and examined the relationships among mercury, hormone concentrations, and body-condition scores. Female White Ibises consistently had lower mercury concentrations than males. Prebreeding females' estradiol concentrations were

Mercury, a trace metal, is a persistent environmental pollutant that can be detected even in remote regions, including high-mountain lakes. This study examined mercury concentrations in the sediment of two lakes in the French Pyrenees, the Legunabens and Labant lakes. Sediment samples were collected using a Hon-Kajak Sediment Corer, and mercury concentrations were measured following the EPA 7473 method with a direct mercury analyzer (DMA-80). Mercury levels reached up to 283 ng g−1 in the Legunabens lake and up to 110 ng g−1 in the Labant lake, possibly linked to the mining history of the Ariè

The cellular features of mercury and selenium accumulation has been studied by transmission electron microscopy and x-ray microprobe analysis in the liver of striped dolphins. Mercury and selenium occurred as dense intracellular granules, located mainly within the liver macrophages (Kupffer cells). Granules were composed of 150 A spherical particles showing the same electron diffraction pattern and x-ray spectrum as mercuric selenide. The role of macrophages in mercuric selenide granule production and storage is discussed.

Deliberate parenteral self-injection of mercury is extremely rare, and is associated with a high degree of mortality and morbidity. Because mercury depresses cellular enzymatic mechanisms by combining with sulfhydryl groups, soluble mercuric salts are toxic to all cells. Embolization of mercury in the lungs has been reported with varying degrees of changes in pulmonary function. Mercury causes urticaria progressing to weeping dermatitis, leukopenia, anemia, diarrhea, salivation, liver damage, and renal damage progressing to acute renal failure with anuria.

A strong binding was observed between the mercuric ions and the substrate at a pH range of 6.5–7.5, which makes the substrate a distinctive luminescence sensor for detecting mercury at ambient conditions. The sensor shows a linear response towards Hg2+ in the concentration range 5.0 × 10–5 to 2.5 × 10–8
