Serving Waynesboro, Augusta County & the Shenandoah Valley

Slide presentation reports field and experimental studies on mercury exposure in amphibians (primarily Bufo americanus) from the South River. Authors measured total mercury in females, eggs, blood and larvae, quantified maternal transfer (~5% of body burden), related egg Hg to hatching success and malformations, ran mesocosm and diet experiments, and estimated effects on recruitment.

Review Notes : PDF contains a multi-year research slide deck but does not show an explicit presentation or publication date. The server filename implies an SRST meeting (srst_meeting_10_08_2) but that date is not visible on the slides, so document_date is left null. Category and type assigned based on meeting-related content and acknowledgements.
