Concentration of mercury was estimated in samples of water bottom sediments and fish from ennore estuary during 1982-83.The uptake of mercury from water by fish is about 400 times. The concentration of Hg in water is 0.0012 mg.ml-1 whiles its level in bottom sediment is 0.6mg-g-1. The higher concentration of Hg in soil substrate is attributable largely to fine particulate organic carbon which is 1.2%. The higher fraction of organic carbon has thus a possible role in binding Hg to soil in larger measure than what it releases to water. Not Available |
