🌊 New Breakthrough in Tracking Ocean Toxins! 🐟
Ever wonder how toxic methylmercury actually makes its way into our seafood? A new study led by Prof. Sun Ruoyu from Tianjin University has just cracked the code! 🧬✨
Using an innovative two-stage method, the team can now separately track inorganic mercury and methylmercury in marine life with unprecedented precision. Their research findings were published in top journals Environmental Science & Technology and JAAS. 📚
This breakthrough solves a long-standing puzzle in mercury isotope research and provides crucial data for protecting marine ecosystems under the Minamata Convention. 🌍🛡️
Dr. Li Songjing, postdoctoral researcher at SESS, is the first author of both papers, and Prof. Sun Ruoyu serves as the corresponding author.
