Spatial trends and pollution assessment for mercury in the surface soils of the Nansi Lake catchment, China.

Surface soil samples collected from Nansi Lake catchment were analyzed for mercury (Hg) to determine its spatial trends and environmental impacts. Results showed that the average soil Hg contents were 0.043 mg kg.

[Residues and Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Organochlorine Pesticides DDTs in Soil of Linyi City, Shandong Province].

Surface soil samples were collected every 36 km2 from Linyi City to study the residues, composition and origin, influencing factors, spatial distribution and environment quality characteristics of soil DDTs. Measurements were taken for DDTs, OrgC, N, etc. for all samples.

[Pollution Status and Migration of Mercury in the Sediments of Nansi Lake in Shandong Province].

The content of mercury and fractions were determined, in order to discuss the pollution situation and migration ability of mercury in inflow rivers and surface sediments of Nansi Lake. The average content of mercury in the sediments of the Nansi Lake was 0.046 mg · kg(-1), significantly higher than the environmental background values, which showed that Nansi Lake suffered from mercury pollution.
