The study was undertaken to investigate the uptake of mercury in salmon throughout the entire farming period at the net cage. Mercury concentrations in muscle, liver, kidney, and gill and responses to the various dietary mercury concentrations were determined. The accumulation of mercury is in the order of kidney>gill=liver>muscle. The highest mercury peak concentrations were observed for both kidney and gill at the parr-smolt period, while liver and muscle mercury peaked one month later after caging at the grow-out site. High dietary sodium and calcium fed to the salmon contributed to the elevation of mercury in kidney and gill during the smolting process. The mercury burden over the grow-out period increased sharply with a linear relationship of mercury uptake. The tissue mercury burden per gram of growth was calculated using the slope of mercury burden and the slope of growth over the period of each stage. The results showed dietary mercury loadings on marketable salmon were within tolerance limits of FDA and US EPA. Rapid growth of salmon and low dietary mercury progressively reduces the uptake of mercury in salmon. The time series of mercury monitoring showed that mercury concentrations in salmon were greater at the parr stage in freshwater than at the grow-out stage in salt water. 相似文献

Total mercury, methyl mercury and sulphide contents of River Carron sediments (Lothian, Scotland) have been determined. Total mercury concentrations are comparable to other mercury polluted estuaries in the UK, but the methyl mercury values for low-sulphide Carron sediments are generally higher. It has been found that methyl mercury levels are initially in direct proportion to the sulphide concentrations of the sediments but beyond sulphide concentrations of 1.8 mg g?1 the methyl mercury levels decline sharply. 相似文献

This article presents results of mercury in surface waters from Hunza River basin, Northern Areas, Pakistan. Small‐scale gold mining activities along the Hunza and Gilgit rivers are long known to be discharging mercury in the amalgamation and roasting processes. Previous studies reported high mercury concentrations in soils close to mining operations as well as serious health problems for miners. However, none of the studies have focused on the level of contamination in aqueous environments. This is the first study on the investigation of source and fate of sediment and river‐borne mercury in the Hunza River. The samples collected near gold panning sites showed higher mercury concentrations than critical levels established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The observed dissolved mercury concentrations ranged from 5.10 to 25.25 ng/l, whereas particulate‐bound mercury ranged from 4.85 to 154.62 ng/l. Particulate‐phase mercury corresponded to more than 75% of the total observed mercury concentrations for all of the sampled rivers. Thus, suspended sediments represented the major pathway of the riverine mercury transport. A mass balance calculation suggested an annual mercury flux of 48.6 g/km2 into the Hunza River basin. The samples collected from the most affected river, the Shimsal River, averaged to have 108 ng/l total mercury. This amount was close to the average soil mercury data of 151 ng/l as reported by the Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation in 2001. The dominant source of contamination was shown to be the leaching of large quantities of mercury from the mercury‐rich sediment and flood plain soil into the rivers, rather than the direct release from mining activities. Significant decrease in both dissolved and particulate‐bound mercury concentration downstream of Attabad Lake suggested that mercury is being accumulated or consumed in the lake. Although minimization or elimination of mercury loses from the mining process seems important for the well‐being of the miners, preventing the remobilization of accumulated mercury is equally important in mercury control in this region.

富营养化对贵州红枫湖水库汞形态和分布特征的影响 总被引：6，自引：1，他引：5
通过对贵州省红枫湖水库中各种汞形态的空间分布及季节变化的研究,探讨了富营养化对各种汞形态分布特征的影响.红枫湖湖水总汞浓度在2.5-13.9ng/L之间,平均值为6.9ng/L.红枫湖水库中汞浓度的空间分布和季节变化均严重受到人为汞污染源的干扰.水体中汞在颗粒态和溶解态之间的分配,主要受内源有机质以及氧化还原条件的影响.由于水华现象,春季后五采样点大量繁殖的藻类吸附了大量的汞,从而改变了汞在水库中的分配和迁移.藻类的生长对水体中溶解气态汞浓度分布也有显著的影响.在夏季,总甲基汞和溶解态甲基汞在水体中的垂直分布表明:在富营养化较严重的后五采样点,水体中升高的甲基汞主要是由于水体中汞的甲基化过程;而在富营养化特征不明显的大坝,水体中升高的甲基汞主要来自沉积物甲基汞的释放.红枫湖水体中各种汞形态的分布特征表明,富营养化对汞的迁移转化影响显著,尤其是汞的甲基化过程.水体富营养化为汞的甲基化提供了有利条件,给水生生态环境及人体健康带来了潜在的威胁. 相似文献

Long-term variation in mercury concentrations in estuarine organisms with changes in releases into Lavaca Bay,Texas 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Sager DR 《Marine pollution bulletin》2002,44(8):807-815
Mercury releases into Lavaca Bay resulted in public health notices and a fishing closure for crabs and finfish. Mercury containing wastewater discharges were halted in 1970, but sediments were contaminated with mercury. The sediments are a source of mercury to the benthic food web via methylation. Mercury in water column feeding organisms has decreased markedly. Concentrations in benthic food web organisms remain elevated. Human consumption concerns for oysters have ended, but a closure for fishing for crabs and finfish continues. Monitoring of mercury in organisms since 1977 shows a gradual downward trend in mercury in crabs and finfish, but this was not sufficient to remove the closure. Continued releases of mercury, man's activities, and resuspension of sediments keep mercury in the sediment's biologically active zone. This enables the uptake of mercury via the benthic food web. If releases are ended, it will take years for the mercury to decrease to concentrations not of concern for human consumption. If more remediation to reduce the mercury concentrations in the sediments takes place, decrease of mercury in the organisms might occur more quickly. 相似文献

Distribution of sedimentary mercury in the Southern Baltic was investigated. Sediment samples were collected from the Southern Baltic in the period from 2009 to 2011, and concentrations of sedimentary total mercury (average 102 ng/g, range 5.8–225 ng/g) and methyl mercury (average 261 pg/g, range 61–940 pg/g) were measured in the manner that the influence of both patchiness and seasonal changes were assessed. Moreover, sedimentary mercury extracted with organic solvent- the so-called organic mercury was also analyzed (average 425 pg/g, range 100–1440 pg/g). There is a statistically significant dependence between organic mercury and both methyl mercury and total mercury concentrations in the sediments. Methyl mercury contribution to total mercury varied from 0.12% to 1.05%, while organic mercury contributed to 2% of total concentration on average. The area studied, although mercury concentrations exceed threefold the geochemical background, can be regarded as moderately contaminated with mercury, and methylmercury. 相似文献

汞主要来源于地球深部地幔岩石和岩浆,具有溶解度小、蒸气压低、穿透能力强等特点.地震前,汞在高温和强压力梯度下穿过不同的介质到达地表,导致汞震前异常.汞的前兆异常特征通常被用作地震前预测的重要指标.本文综合国内应用汞的地震观测案例,得出以下结论:(1)与气态汞相比,水溶性汞具有收集方便、不易受传输介质干扰、前兆异常幅度大等特征,易震前观测;(2)水溶性汞观测异常结束到发震时间间隔较长,而气态汞异常一般持续到地震发生;(3)震前汞的异常幅度通常是本底值的数倍至几十倍,这往往与震中距离、震级大小及地质构造有关;(4)对于5级及以下地震,水溶性汞异常范围通常在200 km以内,5~6级地震映震范围在500 km以内.此外,汞震前观测异常与孕震应力场作用下的地下流体活动有关,汞的同位素分馏技术提供了一种新的手段来解决断裂带汞的来源以及汞与地壳深部流体活动的关系. 相似文献

— The aims of this study were to estimate the total amount of mercury released to the environment during 60 years of gold mining (1867–1926) at Gympie, Queensland, Australia and to measure the mercury levels in soil samples surrounding the mining activity. We estimated that 1902 tonnes of mercury was released to the environment and about 1236 tonnes of which was released to the air. The mean mercury in the soil samples in the vicinity of the Scottish battery varied from 1.07 to 99.26 μg g?1 as compared to 0.075 μg g?1 as background mercury concentrations. The maximum mercury concentration measured in sediments of the Langton Gully was 6.12 μg g?1. These results show that large amount of mercury was used in this area during gold mining. Since mining is active in the area and Langton Gully flows into Mary River, we therefore, recommend that mercury concentration in air and fish should be monitored. 相似文献

The metabolism of inorganic mercury has been studied in stationary cultures of planktonic algae Chlorella kessleri, Scenedesmus obliquus and Microcystis incerta that were exposed for 14 days to the concentration of 2 × 10?7 M of Hg(II). Individual chemical forms of mercury were determined in algae and in the culture medium at regular intervals. All the studied phytoplankton species started to metabolize mercury immediately after its application, with the exception of the blue-green alga Microcystis incerta. The accumulation of mercury proceeds without interruption till the end of the experiment. After a 14 days cultivation about 60… 80% of added mercury was present in algal cells and the portion of mercury washable from the cell surface did not exceed 2%. It was found that more than 99,5% of mercury in cultivation medium and more than 99,5% of mercury in algae was present in the form of Hg(II). A transformation of inorganic mercury to methyl-, or phenyl-mercury due to the action of algae was not observed. 相似文献

A 14?500 calendar year record of mercury accumulation rates has been obtained from an ombrotrophic peat bog in the Swiss Jura mountains. The range of natural (pre-industrial) mercury accumulation rates varied from 0.3 to 8.0 μg m−2 yr−1. During the Late Glacial and Holocene, climatic and volcanic signals were evident in the mercury record. Mercury accumulation rates increased by a factor of ca 5 during the Younger Dryas cold period. Short-term spikes in mercury accumulation rates, which correspond in time to known volcanic eruptions, occur during the late Boreal and Older Atlantic periods, when volcanic influences on mercury deposition appear to have been intensified due to increased atmospheric humidity. A correlation of mercury to bromine accumulation is observed throughout the pre-anthropogenic period. During the Holocene, mercury accumulation only exceeded the range of this correlation for a few short periods of elevated mercury deposition which correspond to known volcanic eruptions during the Older Atlantic. During historical times, mercury accumulation rates have exceeded the range of the correlation of mercury to bromine continuously since ca 1330 AD. This excess in mercury accumulation is interpreted as an indication of pollution. During the industrial period, mercury accumulation rates reached 107.6 μg m−2 yr−1, of which 84% was mercury that exceeded the correlation range. Mercury accumulation rates peaked again during the 1970s, with 78.8 μg m−2 yr−1. Early 20th century pollution appears to have been dominated by non-Swiss emissions from coal burning, whereas Swiss mercury emissions appear to have been the dominant pollution source during the mid and late 20th century. Current mercury accumulation rates at the site are similar to those ca 10 years ago, with modern deposition rates being ca 15 times their prehistorical average. Anthropogenic emissions of reactive brominated compounds could be contributing to increased atmospheric deposition rates of mercury. 相似文献

Hair is a useful indicator of a person’s exposure to mercury. For this reason, hair samples from 94 fertile and 117 subfertile Hong Kong residents were compared over four separate age groups. A typical 30 year old Hong Kong male had a hair mercury concentration of approximately 3.3 mg/kg mercury while a 60 year old Hong Kong subfertile male had a hair mercury concentration of about 7.5 mg/kg. Most of this mercury comes from seafood consumption. Individuals consuming four or more meals of fish per week had a hair mercury of 4.07 mg/kg dry weight of hair while those consuming fish less frequently had significantly lower levels (2.56 mg/kg). Hong Kong residents that consumed no fish had only 1.21 mg/kg hair mercury. The relative risks of males with moderate and high levels of mercury in their hair were significant (p=0.062). Age corrected estimates of risk indicated that compared with men with low levels of mercury in their hair, men with higher levels were twice as likely to be subfertile (relative risk, 1.95) and there was a dose–response trend that was highly significant (p < 0.0005). In light of these risks we concluded that the maximum permitted mercury level in food sold in Hong Kong should be lowered from 0.5 mg/kg wet weight to a level to be determined by risk analysis. In Japan, where fish mercury levels and fish consumption rates are lower than those in Hong Kong, the maximum amount of mercury permitted in food for human consumption is 0.3 mg/kg wet weight. 相似文献

The role of sulphide-containing species in sediments in the mobilization of mercury in the environment is demonstrated. The mobile species is the volatile hydrophobic dimethyl mercury. Transport to atmosphere in this form may account for a loss of about 12% annually of methyl mercury from sediments and may therefore be a substantive part of the biogeochemical cycling of mercury in the environment. 相似文献

In order to develop a viable foraminiferal proxy for heavy metal pollutants, juvenile specimens of Rosalina leei were subjected to different mercury concentrations (0-180 ng/l). Initially considerable growth was observed in specimens kept in saline water having a mercury concentration up to 100 ng/l. But with the gradual increase in concentration of mercury the growth rate started decreasing. Total growth achieved was significantly lower in case of specimens kept at relatively higher mercury concentrations then those maintained in normal saline water. The most significant result of this experiment was the addition of abnormal chambers in the specimens kept at higher mercury concentration. Later the specimens kept at highest concentration (180 ng/l) were subjected to progressively increasing concentration of mercury to see the further effects and it was found that the specimens were still living at as high a mercury concentration as 260 ng/l although there was no growth. 相似文献

Exchange flux of total gaseous mercury between air and natural water surfaces in summer season 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
The exchanges of mercury between surface and air are of significance in the biogeochemical cycling of Hg in the environment,
but there are still few reliable data on air/surface exchange in aquatic systems. Field measurement campaigns over seawater
surface at Kristineberg Marine Research Station (KMRS) and over Hovg?rds?n River surface at Knobesholm in southwestern Sweden
were conducted to measure mercury flux using a dynamic flux chamber technique coupled with automatic mercury vapor-phase analyzers.
Both sites show net emissions during summer time. Mercury fluxes measured over both river and seawater surfaces exhibit a
consistently diurnal pattern with maximum fluxes during the daytime period and minimum fluxes during the nighttime period.
At freshwater site, mercury flux is strongly correlated with the intensity of net solar radiation, and negatively correlated
with relative humidity. A typical exponential relationship between mercury flux and water temperature was observed at freshwater
measurement site. At seawater site, a strong correlation between mercury flux and intensity of solar radiation was obtained.
The driving force of mercury emission from water surface to air is the super-saturation of dissolved gaseous mercury in aqueous
phase. 相似文献
