Abstract

The article discusses the mercury (Hg) transport in response to storm from the Adirondck region of New York, USA. It is said that the fluxes of Hg in surface waters are affected by hydrological events, in which Hg transport may influence the bioavailability of the chemical to aquatic biota. It is cited that Hg concentrations were not correlated with dissolved organic carbon (DOC) or total suspended solids (TSS). It is mentioned that the attributes of watershed and storm have a role in Hg transport and bioavailability.
