In the Arctic, the record of atmospheric deposition of Hg2 + species in lake sediments exhibits a similar global trend as atmospheric GEM concentrations inferred from Greenland firn: lake sediments show an increase in
mercury deposition which parallels increasing industrialization (see ref.

Overall, dippers had higher
mercury levels than most other songbirds tested in western North America,
which may be due to more atmospheric
deposition of
mercury in snow at these high elevations.
For instance, the
Mercury Deposition Network, which measures the metal in rainwater in many parts of the country, does not account for mercury particulates that settle dry onto vegetation, a form of deposition that could be equal to the wet variety, according to Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientist Steve

Mercury also affects hormonal systems so that we can have estrogen dominance and we can see fat
depositions where we don't want them to be, based on estrogen for example, to
which mercury is bound to.
