This book was released on 2000 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mercury that was used historically for gold recovery in mining areas of the Sierra Nevada continues to enter local and downstream water bodies, including the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and the San Francisco Bay of northern California. Methylmercury is of particular concern because it is the most prevalent form of mercury in fish and is a potent neurotoxin that bioaccumulates at successive trophic levels within food webs. In April 1999, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with several other agencies the Forest Service (U.S. Department of Agriculture), the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the California State Water Resources Control Board, and the Nevada County Resource Conservation District began a pilot investigation to characterize the occurrence and distribution of mercury in water, sediment, and biota in the South Yuba River, Deer Creek, and Bear River watersheds of California. Biological samples consisted of semi-aquatic and aquatic insects, amphibians, bird eggs, and fish.

Download or read book Assessment of Mercury Contamination in Riverine Fish and Sediment Associated with Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining in Madre de Dios, Peru written by Gerardo Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in Madre de Dios, Peru, continues to expand rapidly, thus raising concerns about its immense loading of mercury (Hg) to the environment. We measured water physicochemical parameters and sampled and analyzed fish and sediments from multiple sites along one ASGM-impacted river and two unimpacted rivers in the region to examine whether Hg concentrations were directly related to ASGM activity in their watersheds. We also analyzed the 308 fish samples, representing 36 species, for stable isotopes ([delta]15N and [delta]13C) to estimate their trophic position. Trophic position was positively correlated with log Hg[subscript fish] concentrations among all sites. There was a lack of relationship between Hg[subscript fish] and either ASGM activity or Hg[subscript sed] concentrations among sites, suggesting that Hg_fish alone is not an ideal bioindicator of site-specific Hg contamination. Hgfish were not elevated in the ASGM-impacted river relative to the other two rivers; however, Hg[subscript sed] were highest in the ASGM-impacted river. The degraded habitat conditions and commensurate shifts in fish species and ecological processes appear to play a role in Hg bioaccumulation in the ASGM-impacted river. More research is needed on food web dynamics in the region to elucidate any effects caused by ASGM, especially through feeding relationships and food source.

This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Report on how mercury (Hg) was examined in top-predator fish, bed sediment, and water from streams that spanned regional and national gradients of Hg source strength and other factors thought to influence methylmercury bioaccum. Sampled settings include stream basins that were agr¿l, urbanized, undeveloped, and mined. Predator fish were targeted for collection, and composited samples of fish were analyzed for total Hg (THg), as most of the Hg found in fish tissue is MeHg. Samples of bed sediment and stream water were analyzed for THg, MeHg, and characteristics thought to affect Hg methylation, such as loss-on-ignition and acid-volatile sulfide in bed sediment, and pH, dissolved organic carbon, and dissolved sulfate in water.

Download or read book Toxicological Effects of Methylmercury written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-09-27 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mercury is widespread in our environment. Methylmercury, one organic form of mercury, can accumulate up the aquatic food chain and lead to high concentrations in predatory fish. When consumed by humans, contaminated fish represent a public health risk. Combustion processes, especially coal-fired power plants, are major sources of mercury contamination in the environment. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering regulating mercury emissions from those plants. Toxicological Effects of Methylmercury reviews the health effects of methylmercury and discusses the estimation of mercury exposure from measured biomarkers, how differences between individuals affect mercury toxicity, and appropriate statistical methods for analysis of the data and thoroughly compares the epidemiological studies available on methylmercury. Included are discussions of current mercury levels on public health and a delineation of the scientific aspects and policy decisions involved in the regulation of mercury. This report is a valuable resource for individuals interested in the public health effects and regulation of mercury. The report also provides an excellent example of the implications of decisions in the risk assessment process for a larger audience.
