摘要: Mercury is a highly toxic metal. It can and does damage cellular membranes, inhibit enzymes, DNA RNA helixes. readily bioaccumulated, organomercurials at least are biomagnified in food chains (Boening, 2000). In the aquatic environment mercury, being reactive, associated with both organic mineral particulate matter (Laurier et al., 2003), majority of mercury transport coastal zone believed to be through suspended (Forstner Wittmann, 1981; Cossa Gobeil, The dynamics speciation course its from sources offshore depositional areas southern Baltic leads partial remobilization water column, as described Beldowski Pempkowiak (2006). Some information about such processes fate Sea may derived an examination vertical profiles total concentration – dissolved column. To this end stratified column best suited, since stratification hinders settling.
