Dry and wet deposition of mercury near a chlor-alkali plant

http://www.elsevier.com/locate/issn/00489697The dry and wet deposition near a Finnish chlor-alkali plant was estimated by using the moss-bag technique. The estimated net deposition was 130 ng g-1 per month or 480 mg m-2 per year. Two-thirds of the deposition was dry and one-third wet. The results emphasize the importance of the direct uptake of atmospheric mercury by vegetation
