Determination of mercury chemical speciation in the presence of low molecular mass thiols and its importance for mercury methylation
Methylmercury (MeHg) is a neurotoxic compound that threatens the well-being of humans and wildlife. It is formed through the methylation of inorganic mercury (HgII) under suboxic/anoxic conditions in soils, sediment and waters. The chemical speciation of HgII, including specific HgII species in aque...
