Speciation of mercury in a fluid mud profile of a highly turbid macrotidal estuary (Gironde, France)

Article Abstract:

The maximum turbidity zone of the Gironde estuary in Gironde, France is studied for the distribution of mercury in relation to iron and manganese. Graphs and charts show the speciation of mercury in the fluid mud of the Gironde estuary, and a flow chart shows the resuspention of mercury through the dissolution of iron and manganese.

Processes influencing rainfall deposition of mercury in Florida

Article Abstract:

In order to measure atmospheric deposition of Mercury, precipitation samples were taken from 10 areas in Florida for up to 5 years. Researchers believe that thunderstorms and long-range reactive gaseous mercury transport cause about half of the mercury deposition in Florida. Tables, graphs, and figures illustrate study findings.

Distribution kenetics of dietary methylmercury in the Arctic Charr (Salvelinus alpinus)

Article Abstract:

Researchers fed a single dose of methylmercury to immature arctic charr to examine the biological actions of mercury within fish metabolism. Data about the adsorption of mercury from the food to the gut, and then into tissues was gathered. Mercury concentrations within internal organs were examined separately to show that some tissues are more likely to adsorb and retain mercury, while other tissues are more likely to eliminate mercury. Researchers also developed a mathematical model based upon the data to predict levels of mercury contamination.
