A new study, published on 29 September 2021 in Nature, shows that, contrary to previous hypotheses, mercury is not mainly brought in by rainwater but that the ocean 'breathes' it in. This work also suggests that the oceans are receiving less atmospheric mercury than previously estimated, although this does not currently point to a reduction in fish contamination. In the context of the Minamata Convention on mercury, which came into force in 20172, policies to reduce mercury emissions are being developed, which should have a direct impact on mercury in the oceans and on our plates. This work was carried out by an international team involving scientists from the G\u00e9osciences environnement Toulouse laboratory (CNRS\/Universit\u00e9 Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier\/Cnes\/IRD) and the Institut m\u00e9diterran\u00e9en d'oc\u00e9anologie (CNRS\/Aix-Marseille Universit\u00e9\/IRD\/Universit\u00e9 de Toulon), and from the Environmental Geosciences laboratory at the University of Basel (Switzerland).<br>Bibliography<\/p><p>Mercury stable isotopes constrain atmospheric sources to the ocean.
