Mercury has become prevalent in aquatic and marine waters because of increased mercury sources to these water bodies. Mercury sources are anthropogenic and natural related (Peterson, Talcott, & Peterson, 2013). The natural sources of mercury include natural mercury deposits, ocean volatilization, and the eruption of volcanoes. The main anthropogenic sources of mercury include chlorine alkali processing, coal combustion, metal processing, and waste incineration (Peterson, Talcott, & Peterson, 2013). Mercury has become prevalent in aquatic and marine waters recently because anthropogenic activities have more than doubled the mercury amount in aquatic and marine waters (Peterson, Talcott, & Peterson, 2013). Besides, best estimates indicate Continue reading...
