Mercury in the natural environment : a review of recent work

I R Jonasson

Abstract

A review on mercury in the natural environment is presented to cover the literature published since the last major review which is that of James (1962). Together with the treatise by Saukov (1946) these two earlier works provide a full background on the relevant chemistry and geochemistry of mercury which is not duplicated in this report. Sections on analysis for mercury and its compounds, mercury in natural waters, aspects of pollution by mercury, mercury in soils and recent advances in the geochemistry of mercury in ores and rocks are included. A bibliography of more than three hundred published papers is included.
