Scientific paper

IN a study of mercury in sediments in Swansea Bay, mercury dispersed from an industrial outfall into the bay is at least partially retained in the sediments within a radius of 2 km. There is a very significant correlation between the mercury content and organic carbon content of sediments ranging from sand to mud over the whole bay, but with a higher ratio of mercury to organic carbon in the contaminated sediments.
