Mercury in the Ottawa River
Published by Ottawa River Project Group, National Research Council of Canada and the University of Ottawa in Environmental Research in 1979.
The article is summarized as follows: "The Ottawa River Project, a 5-year study of the distribution and transport of mercury in a stretch of the Ottawa River, is summarized. Significant observations include the rapid clearance of mercury from the sediments (half-life on the order of I year), the utility of partition coefficients for the description of mercury distribution between sediment and water, the use of plants as indicators of inorganic and organic forms of mercury in water, and the general predictability of methylmercury levels in fish."------------------------- L’article est résumé comme suit : « Il s’agit d’un sommaire du Ottawa River Project, une étude d’une durée de 5 ans sur la distribution et le transport du mercure dans un tronçon de la rivière des Outaouais. Les principales observations comprennent l’élimination rapide du mercure dans les sédiments (demi-vie d’environ un an), l’utilité des coefficients de partage pour décrire la distribution du mercure dans les sédiments et dans l’eau, l’utilisation des plantes comme indicateurs des formes organiques et inorganiques du mercure dans l’eau et la prévisibilité générale des concentrations de méthylmercure chez les poissons. »
