Mercury in plants, soil and atmosphere near a chlor-alkali complex

Mercury in plants, soil and atmosphere near a chlor-alkali complex Abstract Data of atmospheric Hg concentrations measured near the chlor-alkali complex of Rosignano Solvay (Livorno, Italy) show that the impact of the industry on the terrestrial environment is restricted to a close area around; background values (3 to 5 ng m−3) are reached within a radius of 4 to 5 km. Hg levels in plants (Poa sp. Pinus nigra and Solidago sp.) and in soil show the highest values in the sampling stations near the electrolytic cells. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Water, Air, & Soil Pollution Springer Journals

Abstract

Abstract Data of atmospheric Hg concentrations measured near the chlor-alkali complex of Rosignano Solvay (Livorno, Italy) show that the impact of the industry on the terrestrial environment is restricted to a close area around; background values (3 to 5 ng m−3) are reached within a radius of 4 to 5 km. Hg levels in plants (Poa sp. Pinus nigra and Solidago sp.) and in soil show the highest values in the sampling stations near the electrolytic cells.
