Quarterdeck 2.2
Comparison of the rates of methyl-mercury production as a function of the amount of radioisotopic mercury added to water overlying an intact sediment core. The rate of production of methyl-mercury, the form of mercury that enters and is passed up the food chain, was highest when the concentrations of added radioisotopic mercury were lowest. Results of in situ experiments conducted in September 1993 and June 1994 are shown. Reference
