Synopsis: This book chapter, prepared by an international workgroup of scientists, provided guidelines for assessing methylmercury contamination of aquatic biota in relation to emissions from anthropogenic sources (contact: wiener.jame@uwlax.edu).
Ambio, Volume 36, Issue 1, 2007, a journal published by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (www.ambio.kva.se)
Synopsis: This issue of Ambio contains a series of critical synthesis papers and the Madison Declaration on Mercury Pollution, a summary document endorsed unanimously by members of four international expert panels and strongly supported by conferees at the Eighth International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant (Madison, Wisconsin, August 6-11, 2006). The five synthesis papers address key, policy-relevant questions concerning atmospheric sources of mercury, methylmercury exposure and its effects on humans and wildlife, socioeconomic consequences of mercury pollution, and recovery of mercury-contaminated fisheries (contact: wiener.jame@uwlax.edu).
