Summary

Abstract: This data set contains the following parameters: Lab ID, site ID, lab pH, lab alkalinity, Cl, SO4, Ca, Mg, Na, K, and ion balance for 27 samples collected from 10 sites.

It is well recognized that the chemical forms of mercury in the water column and sediments are intimately related to bioaccumulation and body burden. Interactions of mercury and dissolved organic matter may play an ...
