Ecosystem responses to mercury contamination

"Drawing on the knowledge of international experts in the field of atmospheric transport and deposition, mercury cycling in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and mercury bioaccumulation in aquatic foodwebs and wildlife, Ecosystem Responses to Mercury Contamination: Indicators of Change presents the information needed to design a national-scale monitoring program for mercury. The book explains how to obtain reliable trends for mercury concentrations and fluxes in the environment, and use this information to evaluate regulatory initiatives aimed at reducing mercury emissions."--Jacket.
