APFIVE Climate Change and Mercury Biomagnification
How does climate change potentially exacerbate the biomagnification of methylmercury in marine food chains?
A
By causing ocean acidification, which directly increases the toxicity of methylmercury in marine organisms
B
By altering ocean currents, concentrating methylmercury in specific regions and food chains
C
By increasing ocean temperatures, leading to higher bacterial methylation rates and greater mercury uptake in organisms
D
By increasing phytoplankton blooms, which absorb more methylmercury from the water column
