Mercury in bottom sediments of Rietvlei reservoir

Tabulated results are given from studies on the concentrations of mercury in bottom deposits in the Reitvlei reservoir, South Africa . The concentrations found ranged from 01 to 05 g per g of dry sediment, the highest concentrations occurring in the main channel flowing from the catchment area. Ther...

Zusammenfassung:Tabulated results are given from studies on the concentrations of mercury in bottom deposits in the Reitvlei reservoir, South Africa . The concentrations found ranged from 01 to 05 g per g of dry sediment, the highest concentrations occurring in the main channel flowing from the catchment area. There was little variation of concentration with depth of sediment, indicating a constant level of mercury flowing into the impoundment over the period of build-up of the sediment. (IML)
