Assessing the utility of sulfur isotope values for understanding mercury concentrations in water and biota from high Arctic lakes by Gretchen L. Lescord, Meredith G. Clayden, Karen A. Kidd, Jane L. Kirk, Xiaowa Wang, Nelson J. O’Driscoll, Derek C.G. Muir

“…Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes are frequently used to determine dietary sources of MeHg and to model its biomagnification. However, given the strong links between MeHg and sulfur cycling, we investigated whether sulfur isotopes (δ34S) would improve our understanding of MeHg concentrations ([MeHg]) in Arctic lacustrine food webs. …”
