    Abstract:
    During 2004 the spatial distribution of total Hg in sediments from Todos Santos Bay, Baja California, México was studied to evaluate the degree of environmental impact in this bay. The results showed low concentrations and no Hg enrichment at any site. These findings suggest natural levels of Hg in the water of Todos Santos Bay. The regional distribution of Hg/Fe shows lower values in the East and higher in the West of the bay. No significant correlations (p<0.05) were found between Hg and organic matter or particle size, suggesting that the distribution of Hg is not controlled by these variables.
