Mercury vapour accumulation in azalea leaves

Experimental data on the accumulation and release kinetics of azalea leaves exposed to a constant vapour level of mercury is reported. The accumulation of mercury appears to be irreversible, probably as a consequence of chemical transformation. Potential applications and implications on the biogeoch...

Zusammenfassung:Experimental data on the accumulation and release kinetics of azalea leaves exposed to a constant vapour level of mercury is reported. The accumulation of mercury appears to be irreversible, probably as a consequence of chemical transformation. Potential applications and implications on the biogeochemical cycle of mercury are discussed.
