Ethylmercury is broken down by the body quickly and does not accumulate. In addition to undergoing changes in the atmosphere, mercury can also undergo chemical transformations once it is deposited to the landscape. Bhringraj is a common weed in India.

The Nlg1 gene expression is altered when exposed to MeHg during the larva stage. Microscopic organisms in water and soil can convert elemental and inorganic mercury into an organic mercury compound, methylmercury, which accumulates in the food chain.
