Molecular composition of organic matter controls methylmercury formation in boreal lakes
Neurotoxic methylmercury can be found in high levels in aquatic systems, but the role of organic matter in methylmercury formation is not well understood. Here, Bravoet al. show that plankton-derived organic compounds enhance formation rates in boreal lakes.
