Marine organisms, element speciation

Mercury is a dynamic element, and its chemical behavior in waters, sediments, and soils is complex and is influenced by several factors. These factors include redox, pH, salinity, alkalinity, hardness, and organic matter (i.e., composition, reactivity, concentration, etc.). As with other metals, sediments and soils serve as the main reservoirs for Hg consequently, the levels, distribution, and speciation of Hg in these media must be established to understand its complex behavior. In Table 2, we present selected data on Hg levels that exist in coastal, marine, lagoonal, and estuarine sediments from distinct regions of Mexico. These data show that sediments... [Pg.68]
