Preindustrial levels and temporal enrichment trends of mercury in sediment cores from the Gulf of Thailand.

Four sediment cores in the middle of Gulf of Thailand (GOT) and one core close to Bang Pakong River mouth were examined for total mercury (T-Hg) using direct thermal decomposition coupled with the atomic absorption spectrometry (DTD-AAS) method and acid digestion (acid-CVAAS) method, and sediment chronologies using Pb dating. T-Hg in the river mouth core ranged 44.49-52.

Mercury content and consumption risk of 8 species threadfin bream (Nemipterus spp.) caught along the Gulf of Thailand.

Total mercury (T-Hg) was examined in 8 threadfin bream species (Nemipterus spp.) caught in the Gulf of Thailand (GoT). The T-Hg contents ranged from 11.
