Vertical Distribution of Total Mercury and Mercury Methylation in a Landfill Site in Japan

2018-05-16

Abstract excerpt

Mercury is a neurotoxin, with certain organic forms of the element being particularly harmful to humans. The Minamata Convention was adopted to reduce the intentional use and emission of mercury. Because mercury is an element, it cannot be decomposed. Mercury-containing products and mercury used for various processes will eventually enter the waste stream, and landfill sites will become a mercury sink. While landf...
