Variation in the Content of Different Forms of Mercury in River Catchments of the Southern Baltic Sea – Case Study

Mercury (Hg) is recognised as a global environmental pollutant. Despite numerous studies being conducted around the world, the transformation of mercury in natural environments is still not fully understood. In addition, increasing droughts and heavy rains are currently observed to contribute to cha...
