Reports from human case studies indicate a half-life for inorganic mercury in the brain in the order of years-contradicting older radioisotope studies that estimated half-lives in the order of weeks to months in duration. This study systematically reviews available evidence

Antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) are currently discussed as emerging environmental contaminants. Hospital and municipal sewage are important sources of ARGs for the receiving freshwater bodies. We investigated the spatial distribution of different ARGs (sul1, sul2, tet(B), tet(M), tet(W) and qnrA) in

Mercury (Hg) is a potentially toxic metal ubiquitous in arctic biota. Livers of adult thick-billed murres (Uria lomvia) and northern fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) sampled from several locations in the eastern Canadian Arctic during 2007-2008 were analyzed for total Hg in

The adipocytokines, leptin, adiponectin, and interleukin-6, which stimulate liver C-reactive protein (CRP) production, are regarded as potential candidate intermediates between adipose tissue and overweight-induced hypertension. We examined the associations between leptin, adiponectin, and CRP levels with both prevalent and 5-year

  3. I see that Mercury is sold by weight, but it's a liquid. What is the volume?

    1 answer
    1. The specific gravity of liquid mercury at 20°C is 13.546, according to the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 82nd ed. (2001-2002), page 4-19. We list several mercury products, in various package sizes, sold by weight. Here are the conversions from mass to volume: 5G = 0.37 mL. 50G = 3.7 mL. 100G = 7.4 mL. 250G = 18.5 mL. 500G = 36.9 mL. 2KG = 147.6 mL.
