Mercury contamination anthropogenic city ground

Brief summary

Two approaches were used for the estimation of the presence of mercury in the environment of St.Pb. The first one involves a direct measurement of the mercury content in the soil samples. The average mercury content in the top layer of soil 0.0-0.2 m, show 0.182±0.105 mg/kg, in the second case a method of indirect evaluation of mercury contamination was applied such as measurement of mercury level in mushrooms. The mercury content in mushrooms has an average value of 0.350±0.328 mg/kg. Thus two different methods shows that both of the above methods could be used for measurements of mercury contamination but each can reflect a situation from a different perspective.


Key words
