Entity of the month

9th January 2012, Mercury

Mercury (CHEBI:16170) is the only metallic element that is a liquid at standard temperature and pressure. Along with most of its compounds it is extremely toxic, causing both chronic and acute poisoning. Moreover, it has a tendency to accumulate in organisms and increase in concentration up through the food chain, and therefore monitoring of its levels in the environment is vitally important.
