Adsorption and environmental behavior of mercury on the sediment from the Yellow Sea of China
2023, Journal of Hazardous MaterialsCitation Excerpt :The concentrations of Hg in the coastal sediments from Bohai Sea and South China Sea is 9.7 – 160.1 ng/g and 15.4 –398.0 ng/g respectively (Meng et al., 2014). The concentrations of Hg in the coastal sediments from Baltic Sea, Red Sea and Barents Sea were as high as 5.8 –225.1 ng/g, 28.9 – 176.6 ng/g and 47.5 – 290 ng/g, respectively (Beldowski et al., 2014; Dijkstra et al., 2017; Maria, 2012). However, the mechanism of high input but low accumulation of Hg in the sediments of the YS remains unclear.
Spatial-temporal characteristics of mercury and methylmercury in marine sediment under the combined influences of river input and coastal currents
2021, ChemosphereCitation Excerpt :In the studied sites, the MeHg/THg ratio varied from 0.01% to 2.47%, with an average value of 0.70% ± 0.61%. This MeHg/THg ratio was comparable to sediment samples from the southern Baltic Sea (0.12–1.05%, BelDowski et al., 2014), aquatic sediments across western North America (0.7%, Fleck et al., 2016), and estuarine sediments in New England (0.4%, Taylor et al., 2012). Compared to the East China Sea (south of the Yellow Sea, Zhao et al., 2019), our research reported similar values in the overlap area, but the average net methylation potentials in the Bohai and Yellow seas were much higher than those in the East China Sea (0.02%–0.64%, 0.12% on average).
