| Meagher's University of Georgia research team spliced bacteria genes into cottonwood trees, enabling the trees to vaporize methylmercury into safer elemental mercury. |
| Seafood with lower levels of methylmercury include cod, mahi-mahi, salmon, shrimp, trout, flounder, sole, perch and scallops. |
| The purpose of this study was to determine if methylmercury is maternally transferred placentally in Northern Water Snakes. |
