Abstract Mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) are highly neurotoxic substances, reservoirs play a critical role in Hg storage while providing geochemical environments conducive to MeHg production. However, the mechanisms of transport methylation during reservoir regulation remain poorly understood. This study investigates spatial distribution sediment both horizontal vertical profiles within Nuozhadu Reservoir, located upper Mekong River. Using diffusive gradients thin films (DGT) technique, we observed that concentrations initially increased then slightly decreased from tail dam front reservoir. trend is primarily attributed fine particles influenced by interception. production was transport, but hydraulic conditions driving accumulation emerged as dominant source MeHg. Furthermore, fluctuations DGT-Hg DGT-MeHg values were noted, likely caused periodic operations. Our findings indicate sediments release into overlying water, establishing significant pollution reservoirs. enhances our understanding processes under influence regulation.

Humans have intentionally mined and released mercury (Hg) from the Earth's lithosphere over millennia. Here, we synthesize past, present, future anthropogenic Hg emissions releases use a global geochemical box model to characterize accumulation in atmosphere, land, ocean. We project an upper-bound for between 2010 2300 (Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP)5-8.5; 1.7 Tg) that surpasses historical total past half millennium (1.5 Tg). In contrast, lower-bound (SSP1-2.6; 0.7 is substantially smaller than total. Observational constraints on modeling suggest most land water prior remains sequestered at contaminated sites. Substantial oceanic enrichment by (270% ca. 2010) has been driven mainly atmospheric emissions. Cumulative are projected be approximately six-times greater primary atmosphere. This legacy waste pools unlikely impact pollution ocean unless it mobilized climate change. Modeling results 2100 concentrations may similar present levels if society follows SSP5-8.5. Declines surface (-19%) atmosphere (-45%) expected under SSP1-2.6, emphasizing benefits of reductions releases.
