With recent discovery can exhibit both mass-dependent (MDF) mass-independent fractionation (MIF) (range >6‰ both), isotopes are valuable tool tracing important toxin through environment. MDF alone, which occurs during redox transformations, biological cycling, volatilization Hg, be exploited increase understanding processes control distribution bioaccumulation. addition MIF signatures greatly increases usefulness because provides unique fingerprint specific chemical pathways, such photochemical reduction.
