Mercury methylation beneath an in-situ sediment cap
The production of methyl mercury, an acute neurotoxin which readily accumulates in the tissue of organisms, is a biologically mediated process facilitated by sulfate reducing bacteria in aquatic sediments. In-situ capping is a frequently considered risk management strategy for contaminated sediments...
