Evaluation of mercury availability to pea parts (Pisum sativum L.) in urban soils: Comparison between diffusive gradients in thin films technique and plant model.

The diffusive gradients in thin films technique (DGT) was used for the determination of bioavailable mercury in urban soils, and results were compared to the mercury accumulation by Pisum sativum L. (pea) parts (leaf, root, stem, blossom, legume, and green seed). The total mercury concentration in soil samples was ranged between 0.
