Tracing Methylmercury Sources in Marine Food Web of Chinese Bohai Sea Using Mercury Isotopes
Studies show that mercury (Hg) concentrations in the upper ocean (0-1000m) has now become 2.5 times that of pre-industrial level. Since the inorganic Hg could be transformed into methylmercury (MeHg, the most toxic Hg form) through microbial and chemical methylation, elevated inorganic Hg is expected to increase the production of MeHg in the oceans. The produced MeHg could be bio-accumulated in...

TJU Researchers Improve Gas Boiler Exhaust Treatment
Air pollution has become a major concern in recent years in China. The State Council of China issued the "Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan" in 2013. According to the plan, natural gas should be used more efficiently and newly extracted natural gas should give exclusive priority to living consumption or replace coal combustion". Since 2016, Chinese provinces have been promoting t...
