Mercury concentrations in waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea

Total mercury concentration in waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea measured in January-April 1982 varied from 0.007 to 0.192 µg/l. Particulate form was 1.6-16% of dissolved form. Inorganic mercury accounted for 16-67% of dissolved mercury. Total mercury concentration in the surface film was 0.74-1.85 µg/l, 10-40 times higher than in seawater. Concentration of particulate form in the film was from 100 to 400 times higher than in seawater.
