Mercury Distribution and Speciation in a Polluted Fluvial System

Assessment of methylmercury production in a temperate salt marsh (Ria de Aveiro Lagoon, Portugal)

“…In fact, this is observed in the non-vegetated sediments as opposed to the vegetated sediments, probably because of the activity of the root system. Although values found in the vegetated sediments can be considered high according to Ebinghaus and Wilken (1996), they correspond to low percentages of methylmercury (Fig. 4).…”
