Serving Waynesboro, Augusta County & the Shenandoah Valley

Slide deck summarizes microcosm 'shake-and-bake' resuspension experiments using river sediments and overlying water to measure total and dissolved mercury and methylmercury, TSS, and partitioning (Kd). Experiments tested different resuspension durations and DOC additions. Results show MeHg concentrations track TSS, little net MeHg release upon resuspension, increased Kd over time, and dissolved MeHg ≤0.4 ng/L after 96 hours.
