Total mercury concentrations in an industrialized catchment, the Thur River basin (north-eastern France): geochemical background level and contamination factors.
River bottom sediments and soils were collected from the industrialized Thur River basin (north-eastern France) to assess mercury contamination. The regional geochemical background level of total mercury was evaluated to calculate mercury contamination factors (Fc) in soils and river bottom sediments. Our estimate of the mean background mercury levels in river sediments and soils, not affected ...
متن کاملModeling mercury biomagnification (South River, Virginia, USA) to inform river management decision making.
Mercury trophic transfer in the South River (VA, USA) was modeled to guide river remediation decision making. Sixteen different biota types were collected at six sites within 23 river miles. Mercury biomagnification was modeled using a general biomagnification model based on delta(15)N and distance from the historic mercury release. Methylmercury trophic transfer was clearer than that for total...
متن کاملOhio Lake Erie Protection Fund Final Report
Bacteria exhibit the ability to metabolize a wide array of contaminants and, as a result, reduce their toxicity to wildlife and humans. The general goal of this project was to design and evaluate, as a proof-of concept, a DNA microarray assay to evaluate bacterial detoxification mechanisms in contaminated sediments. The assay consists of 100 probes that measure activity of bacterial remediation...
متن کاملMercury in the Lot–Garonne River system (France): Sources, fluxes and anthropogenic component
Dissolved and particulate Hg fluxes in the Lot–Garonne–Gironde fluvial-estuarine system were obtained from observation of daily discharge and suspended particulate matter (SPM) concentrations. In addition to the measurements of the total dissolved (<0.45 μm) and particulate Hg (>0.45 μm), called HgTD and HgTP respectively, the dissolved inorganic Hg species (HgRD) were determined monthly. Geoch...
متن کاملTemporal and geographic trends in mercury concentrations in muscle tissue in five species of Hudson River, USA, fish.
We analyzed a New York (USA) state database of mercury concentrations in muscle tissue for five species of fish (striped bass, yellow perch, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and carp) over a range of locations in the Hudson River (USA) between 1970 and 2004. We used regression models to discern temporal and geographic change in the fish while controlling for a positive correlation between merc...
