| Abstract: | Background and purpose More and more coal-fired power plants equipped with seawater flue gas desulfurization systems have been built in coastal areas.
They release large amount of mercury (Hg)-containing waste seawater into the adjacent seas. However, very limited impact studies
have been carried out. Our research targeted the distribution of Hg in the seawater, sediment, biota, and atmosphere, and
its environmental transportation. |
