Slide presentation describing a mesocosm field study testing biochar filters and adsorptive-media structures to treat South River water. Authors measured total and methylmercury in the water column and mercury accumulation in periphyton. Biochar filter reduced water mercury (median 34–90%) and produced a statistically significant 46% reduction in periphyton methylmercury; structures were variable.
