摘要: Approximately a century after peak mining and milling activities at two historic camps in the western United States, Hg pollution persists Carson River, Nevada, Jordan Creek, Idaho. Active channel sediments these streams are still enriched levels of 2 to 4 orders magnitude above regional background.
