摘要: Total Hg and McHg concentrations have been determined in sediments suspended particulate matter from one of the most Hg-polluted rivers world, Elbe river Northern Germany. Results total are presented. (SPM) 30 mg kg−1 average up to 150 as maximum value. Hg-fluxes −1 calculated measurements an automatically operating station upstream Hamburg about 17 ta−1 particles. A new determination by HPLC chromatography photometric detection was developed verified. Methylmercury were 10% Hg, i. e. 2.7 (dw).
