Mercury can be substantially be remobilized due to the change in the land-use, in particular in areas naturally elevated in mercury and in areas previously polluted by mercury. Such activities include farmland, clear cutting and water reservoirs (hydroelectric, aquaculture, irrigation). These activities may considerably enhance the release of mercury to aquatic systems and the bioaccumulation of mercury in organisms. There is a growing body of evidence...
