Description :

This book presents an exhaustive overview of the biogeo-chemical cycling of mercury in hydroelectric reservoirs as well as in natural aquatic systems of the boreal forest regior of northern Quebec (Canada). Presented in the form of 14 papers with an overall synthesis, it marks the conclusif of over 10 years of studies carried out by universities, mental institutions and industries, using the latest and mos|| appropriate sampling and analytical procedures.The results!) clearly show a threefold increase in atmospheric fluxes of He in remote areas of northern Quebec over the last century and, in the case of hydroelectric reservoirs, the critical role: || played by the extensive flooding of land in the temporary post-impoundment increase in mercury levels in organisms and fish-eating wildlife.
