Mercury in the Ecosystem

Authors: S. Mitra

Online since: January 1986

Description: This comprehensive treatise on the environmental dispersion of mercury emphasizes the importance of "mercury-consciousness" in the present-day world, where rapidly expanding metallurgical, chemical, and other industrial developments are causing widespread contamination of the atmosphere, soil, and water by this metal and its toxic organic derivatives.
