Kinetic Study of Biodangerous Methylmercury Degradation under Various Light Conditions by Yutao Zhang, Xia Chen, Qixia Jiang, Xiaojuan Zhang, Qiuyun Zhang

“…The result showed that light radiation enhanced MeHg degradation but had no significant influence on the final balance between MeHg and inorganic mercury (Hg2+) in pure water. The balance is of great importance and can be used as a key fundamental to estimate MeHg cycling in other complicated aquatic environments. …”

Eutrophication and urbanization enhance methane emissions from coastal lagoons by Stefano Bonaglia, Henry L. S. Cheung, Tobia Politi, Irma Vybernaite‐Lubiene, Tristan McKenzie, Isaac R. Santos, Mindaugas Zilius

“…Methane fluxes were mainly driven by sediment porosity, organic matter, and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) fluxes. Methane was always supersaturated (250–49,000%) in lagoon waters leading to large, variable emissions of 0.04–26 mg CH4 m−2 d−1. …”
