Role of Settling Particles on Mercury Methylation in the Oxic Water Column of Freshwater Systems

As the methylation of inorganic mercury to neurotoxic methylmercury has been attributed to the activity of anaerobic bacteria, the formation of methylmercury in the oxic water column of marine ecosystems has puzzled scientists over the past years. Here we show for the first time that methylmercury c...
