In this review, we examine the state of knowledge regarding the chemical, biological, and physical controls on MeHg production and identify those most critical for contaminated site assessment and management. We provide a list of parameters to assess Hg-contaminated soils and sediments with regard to their potential to be a source of MeHg to biota and therefore a risk to humans and ecological receptors. Because some measurable geochemical parameters (e.g., DOC) can have opposing effects on Hg methylation, we recommend focusing first on factors that describe the potential for Hg bio-accumulation: site characteristics, Hg and MeHg concentrations, Hg availability, and microbial activity, where practical. At some sites, more detailed assessment of biogeochemistry may be required to develop a conceptual site model for remedial decision making.

Site managers should focus on a limited number of parameters that have the greatest likelihood of characterizing the sediment as a potential source of MeHg. Sediment total Hg (THg) and MeHg concentrations alone will not provide all the information needed to plan site remediation, but are a valuable starting point.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ieam.1822","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,18]],"date-time":"2016-07-18T11:11:30Z","timestamp":1468840290000},"page":"249-263","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":68,"title":["Biogeochemical controls on methylmercury in soils and sediments: Implications for site management"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Gary N","family":"Bigham","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Exponent Washington USA"},{"name":"Bellevue Washington USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen J","family":"Murray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Exponent Massachusetts USA"},{"name":"Maynard Massachusetts USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoko","family":"Masue-Slowey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Exponent New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth A","family":"Henry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anchor QEA New York USA"},{"name":"Saratoga Springs New York USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025010717525641400_ieam1822-bib-0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4279","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atmosenv.2004.05.002","article-title":"Formation and evasion of dissolved gaseous mercury in large enclosures amended with 200HgCl2","volume":"38","author":"Amyot","year":"2004","journal-title":"Atmos Environ"},{"key":"2025010717525641400_ieam1822-bib-0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4267","DOI":"10.1128\/aem.63.11.4267-4271.1997","article-title":"Effects of dissolved organic carbon and salinity on bioavailability of mercury","volume":"63","author":"Barkay","year":"1997","journal-title":"Appl Environ Microbiol"},{"key":"2025010717525641400_ieam1822-bib-0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1105","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01189771","article-title":"Characterization of mercury species in contaminated floodplain soils","volume":"80","author":"Barnett","year":"1995","journal-title":"Water Air Soil Pollut"},{"key":"2025010717525641400_ieam1822-bib-0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3037","DOI":"10.1021\/es960389j","article-title":"Formation of mercuric sulfide in soil","volume":"31","author":"Barnett","year":"1997","journal-title":"Environ Sci Technol"},{"key":"2025010717525641400_ieam1822-bib-0005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1139\/f05-202","article-title":"The effect of selenium on mercury assimilation by freshwater organisms","volume":"63","author":"Belzile","year":"2006","journal-title":"Can J Fish Aquat Sci"},{"key":"2025010717525641400_ieam1822-bib-0006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"704","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2006.03.008","article-title":"Detoxification of selenite and mercury by reduction and mutual protection in the assimilation of both elements by pseudomonas fluorescens","volume":"367","author":"Belzile","year":"2006","journal-title":"Sci Total Environ"},{"key":"2025010717525641400_ieam1822-bib-0007","first-page":"262","volume-title":"Biogeochemistry of environmentally important trace elements. 221st National Meeting of the American Chemical Society; 2001 April 1\u20135; San Diego CA.
