Application of diffusive gradient in thin-film passive samplers to assess mercury availability and mobility in a fresh water river system
The accurate measurement of mercury in sediment porewater is a challenge using conventional sampling techniques which commonly require removal of sediment, transportation, and processing. Passive sampling is an alternative technique that measures sediment porewater concentrations in-situ and …

Mercury air surface exchange flux: A field study in the Bay Saint-Francois wetlands, Quebec, Canada.
Mercury (Hg) is a highly mobile environmental pollutant that is toxic to both human and wildlife at extremely low concentration. Aquatic ecosystem and especially wetlands are important environments for Hg biochemical transformation and cycling. An intensive two-part field study was conducted in the …

Mercury Transportation in Soil Using Gypsum from Flue Gas Desulphurization Unit in Coal-Fired Power Plant
<p>This work investigates mercury flux in soil amended by gypsum from flue gas desulphurization (FGD) units of coal-fired power plants. There are two phases of this research, including field and greenhouse studies. Previous studies indicate that FGD gypsum could increase corn yield, but may lead to …

Atmospheric Mercury Species In Northern Mississippi: Concentrations, Sources, Temporal Patterns, And Soil-Air Exchange
Mercury is a highly toxic element that is found both naturally and as an introduced contaminant in the environment. The majority of Mercury released to the environment is into the atmosphere, where because of its high volatility and long residence time is dispersed globally. In order to better …
