04.30 2021Nankai University Research Team Unveils the Mystery of Methylmercury Formation in the Environment
Environmental contamination by mercury in its organometallic form, methylmercury, remains a major global concern due to its neurotoxicity, environmental persistence and biomagnification through the food chain.Methylmercury was also the “culprit” of the “Minamata disease”in Japan in the 1950s,causinga worldwide scandal. However, for a long time, the mystery of methylmercury formation in the environment has prevented people from controlling methylmercury pollution fromthe source.Recently, a resear
