The present paper provides an overview of mercury studies performed in the Mediterranean Sea region in the framework of several research projects funded by the European Commission and on-going national programmes carried out during the last 15 years. These studies investigated the temporal and spatial ...

MEDITERRANEAN SeaMINES & mineral resourcesMARINE pollutionPLANKTONFISHINGThe Mediterranean Region has a long lasting legacy of mercury mining activities and a high density of sub-marine volcanoes that has strongly contributed to its mercury budget. In the last forty years, there have been recorded ...
addressed: (1) the reliability of analytical measurements; (2) the paucity of data on Hg in the Mediterranean and other oceanic areas; (3) the actual levels of Hg in truly open-ocean waters; and (4) ecological factors which may play a role in the enrichment of Hg in Mediterranean fish...

Mercury is an element the emissions of which from its natural sources exceed its anthropogenic emissions. Therefore, it is difficult to estimate mercury emission levels from its natural sources. This is related, e.g., to the absence of sufficient data on this issue and the complexity of process...

It is naturally present in the Earth’ crust, and the Mediterranean Sea is particularly rich in Hg because it is characterized by a natural content of cinnabar (HgS) deposits [2]. Furthermore, the northern area of the Adriatic Sea is known for mercury input phenomena, due to transport by ...
Mediterranean Sea.The objective of this study was to determine the current levels of total mercury and methylmercury in the muscle tissues of different fish species caught in the Mediterranean Sea to ascertain whether these concentrations exceed the maximum level stipulated by the European Commission ...
