| mercury concentrations in pond fish in relation to a coal-fired power plant. | many studies have reported that atmospheric mercury is the primary cause for bioaccumulation in fish from remote lakes. few data, however, are available on the possible effects of near-field mercury deposition on mercury concentrations in fish from local waters. mercury concentrations were surveyed in fish from 23 ponds in the vicinity of a 543-megawatt coal-fired power plant located at dickerson, maryland. a stratified random sampling design was used to select ponds within zones delineated by c ... | 1997 | 9294253 |
