Concentration of mercury in human hair and its associated factors in residents of the Gulf of Trieste (North-Eastern Italy)

2022-04-13

Abstract excerpt

The Gulf of Trieste (Northern Adriatic Sea, Italy) is the coastal area of the Mediterranean Sea most highly contaminated by mercury (Hg) due to fluvial inputs from the Isonzo/Soča River system, draining over 500 years’ worth of cinnabar extraction activity from the Idrija mining district (Western Slovenia). The aim of this research is to investigate the concentration of Hg in hair samples taken from participants f...
