  • Title: Dissolved gaseous mercury concentration and mercury evasional flux from seawater in front of a chlor-alkali plant.
    Author: Ferrara R, Lanzillotta E, Ceccarini C.
    Journal: Environ Technol; 2001 Aug; 22(8):971-8. PubMed ID: 11561954.
    Abstract:
    The dissolved gaseous mercury concentration and mercury degassing rate have been measured in a marine area polluted by a chlor-alkali plant (Rosignano Solvay, Italy), which uses mercury in chlorine production. During the summer the DGM concentration (130 pg l(-1)) and the evasional flux (14 ng m(-2) h(-1)) were 3-4 times higher than those measured at the control stations. A seasonal behaviour has been highlighted at all the sampling sites, with minimum levels in the winter.
