Mercury pathways in a river and estuary

A method for determination of total mercury in water, suspended solids, and bottom deposits has been evaluated and used to study mercury in LaHave river and estuary, Nova Scotia. Results indicated that mercury in industrial waste waters is discharged mainly in the dissolved form, but may be rapidly...

Zusammenfassung:A method for determination of total mercury in water, suspended solids, and bottom deposits has been evaluated and used to study mercury in LaHave river and estuary, Nova Scotia. Results indicated that mercury in industrial waste waters is discharged mainly in the dissolved form, but may be rapidly adsorbed on suspended solids and bottom deposits.
