In this paper, there was investigated the content of mercury in soil, plant, water, and hydrobionts Kyiv Obukhiv district region. Studied territory is characterized by high anthropogenic load. The solid waste landfill region highest Hg soil. concentration Taraxacum officinale L. among all studied plants, hence possibility recommending species for phytoremediation mercury-polluted soils. Mercury...

Mercury content and fatty acids in muscles of Perca fluviatilis L. (European perch), Leuciscus idus L. (ide), Cyprinus carpio L. (European or common carp), Oncorhynchus mykiss Walb. (rainbow trout), Platichthys flesus L. (European flounder). and Clupea harengus L. (bream) from the Polish market were investigated. The total mercury was processed with AAS. The fatty acids were analyzed by gas chr...

This article reports an experimental and theoretical investigation of mercury dissolution from dental amalgams immersed in neutral (noncorrosive) and acidic (corrosive) flows. Atomic absorption spectrophotometric measurements of Hg loss indicate that in neutral flow, surface oxide films formed in air prior to immersion persist and effectively suppress significant mercury release. In acidic (pH ...
