THE ORIGIN OF NATURAL METHYLMERCURY

Objective

ASSESSMENT OF THE BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC METHYLMERCURY FORMATION IN THE FRESHWATER AND MARINE ENVIRONMENT.

THIS SHORT-TERM PROJECT IS THE EXPLORATORY PHASE FOR A (PROBABLE) LARGER RESEARCH PROGRAMME AIMED TO INVESTIGATE TO WHAT EXTENT BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC PROCESSES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FORMATION OF METHYLMERCURY IN FRESHWATER AND MARINE ENVIRONMENTS UNDER FIELD CONDITIONS OF LOW AND HIGH NATURAL ENVIRONMENTAL MERCURY CONCENTRATIONS.

ATTENTION WILL BE PAID TO THE QUESTIONS WHETHER THE METHYLMERCURY FORMATION BY BACTERIA DOES REALLY OCCUR IN NATURE, AND WHETHER THE ABIOTIC METHYLATION PROCESSES ARE PLAYING AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN METHYLMERCURY FORMATION UNDER NATURAL CONDITIONS.
