Mercury speciation in drainage from the New Idria mercury mine, California
Article Abstract:
Mercury concentrations and speciation in water were studied in the New Idria mine in California because so much is unknown about the amount of mercury released in inoperative Western mines. The article is broken down into an introduction, methods of the experiment, and the results and a discussion of those results.

Tracking mercury in landfill gas
Article Abstract:
Samples from municipal waste landfills in Florida are studied for methylated mercury compounds emenated from the bacterial transformation of mercury-containing waste. Dimethyl mercury and monomethyl mercury are found in elevated levels at the landfill sites.

Mercury in Lake Michigan
Article Abstract:
Mercury and methylmercury concentrations in the water column and biota of Lake Michigan are measured under the Lake Michigan Mass Balance Study. Average total Hg concentration in the lake during 1994-1995 was 1.6 pM while average particulate Hg was 0.58 pM, or about 36% of the total on average. Relatively low concentrations of Hg were noted in piscivorous fish in the lake, compared with small midcontinental lakes. Principal sources and sinks for Hg in the lake were also determined.
