Environmental chemists funded by the Department of Energy have studied these sources to learn as much as they can about the chemistry of plutonium dispersed in freshwater and marine ecosystems. Much of the early work determined the concentrations in various water bodies and the distribution between water and sediment. Table I shows results of various freshwater and marine surveys(10).

The aqueous chemistry of Ra is expected to be very similar to that of Ba. Thermodynamically driven Ra enrichments in celestite and barite are expected based on Sr/Ba/Ra coprecipitation systematics (Bernstein et al., 1998). Ra concentrations in the water column should reflect such processes to some degree. Significant differences in Ba and Ra distributions in seawater should be attributable to differences in the sources of these elements. 226Ra is the daughter of 230Th with resulting strong sources in deep water and sediments.

Early diagenesis is typically described as a steady-state phenomenon however, unless very long-term geological timescales are considered, steady-state conditions are generally not common in shallow turbid environments such as estuaries. There are many factors that contribute to these non-steady-state conditions, such as variations in sedimentation rate, inputs of organic matter, chemistry of bottom waters and sediments, bioturbation rates, and resuspension (Lasagna and Holland, 1976). Consequently, numerous attempts...

This chapter will review information relevant to the biogeochemical cycle of mercury, specifically (i) the speciation chemistry of mercury, (ii) the fate of mercury in air, water and sediment, and (iii) the effects of landscape changes on mercury fate. The chapter will end with a summary of a recent multidisciplinary mercury mass balance conducted in Kejimkujik Park (Nova Scotia, Canada).
