资源简介：
Atmospheric deposition has been found to be the dominant source of mercury (Hg)
in New England's aquatic environment (Krabbenhoft and others, 1999; Northeast
States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM) and others, 1998). Little
is known about atmospheric mercury deposition in urban areas because most
atmospheric monitoring to date has been done in rural areas. Preliminary water,
sediment, and fish tissue data, collected by U.S. Geological Survey's New
England Coastal Basins (NECB) study as part of the National Water Quality
Assessment (NAWQA) program, shows elevated concentrations of mercury in the
Boston metropolitan area. The NECB Mercury Deposition Network is a four-site,
2-year data collection effort by the USGS to help define the levels of mercury
in precipitation and identify how atmospheric mercury may be contributing to
mercury in the aquatic ecosystem.
