Methylmercury in environmental compartments of a hydroelectric reservoir in the Western Amazon, Brazil
Damming rivers to generate electricity creates a lentic environment that favors methylmercury (MeHg) formation. Reservoirs in the Amazon are critical environments for MeHg formation, considering its old soils and the use of Hg in gold mining in the region. The objective of this study was to evaluate...

520 | |a Damming rivers to generate electricity creates a lentic environment that favors methylmercury (MeHg) formation. Reservoirs in the Amazon are critical environments for MeHg formation, considering its old soils and the use of Hg in gold mining in the region. The objective of this study was to evaluate MeHg accumulation in three environmental compartments (aquatic macrophytes, suspended particulate matter (SPM) and sediment) of the Samuel reservoir (Western Amazon, Brazil), during the low water, ebb and high water hydrological periods, characterizing the dry season, the end of the rainy season and the rainy season, respectively. MeHg concentrations were determined through GC-AFS. The aquatic macrophytes presented higher %MeHg in their roots (up to 12%) compared to their other tissues. This ratio was 1.7 and 5.9 times higher than those observed for SPM and the sediment, but MeHg concentrations were the lowest (0.5–4.5 ng g−1) among the three environmental compartments. Contrary, the highest MeHg concentration was observed in SPM (104 ng g−1) during the low water period. The MeHg concentration in the sediment profile decreased with increasing depth (0.93–0.48 ng g−1) and with decreasing organic matter lability (increasing C:N ratio). In the SPM, on the other hand, MeHg concentration showed a positive association with increasing C:N ratio. We conclude that MeHg dynamics in the SPM are associated with the hydrological periods, with peaks during the low water period. The organic matter lability of the sediments is more limiting to the production of MeHg than the total Hg concentrations. | ||

Damming rivers to generate electricity creates a lentic environment that favors methylmercury (MeHg) formation.

In the SPM, on the other hand, MeHg concentration showed a positive association with increasing C:N ratio. We conclude that MeHg dynamics in the SPM are associated with the hydrological periods, with peaks during the low water period. The organic matter lability of the sediments is more limiting to the production of MeHg than the total Hg concentrations.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Sediment profile</subfield><subfield code="2">Elsevier</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Mercury methylation</subfield><subfield code="2">Elsevier</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Amazon hydroelectric reservoir</subfield><subfield code="2">Elsevier</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Suspended particulate matter</subfield><subfield code="2">Elsevier</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Aquatic macrophytes</subfield><subfield code="2">Elsevier</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Bastos, Wanderley R.</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Almeida, Marcelo G.</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Mussy, Marilia H.</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Souza, Cristina MM.</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="773" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Enthalten in</subfield><subfield code="n">Elsevier Science</subfield><subfield code="a">Shterenlikht, Anton ELSEVIER</subfield><subfield code="t">MPI vs Fortran coarrays beyond 100k cores: 3D cellular automata</subfield><subfield code="d">2019</subfield><subfield code="d">chemistry, biology and toxicology as related to environmental problems</subfield><subfield code="g">Amsterdam [u.a.]</subfield><subfield code="w">(DE-627)ELV002112701</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="773" ind1="1" ind2="8"><subfield code="g">volume:215</subfield><subfield code="g">year:2019</subfield><subfield code="g">pages:758-765</subfield><subfield code="g">extent:8</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="u">https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2018.10.106</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_USEFLAG_U</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ELV</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">SYSFLAG_U</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="936" ind1="b" ind2="k"><subfield code="a">54.25</subfield><subfield code="j">Parallele Datenverarbeitung</subfield><subfield code="q">VZ</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="951" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">AR</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="d">215</subfield><subfield code="j">2019</subfield><subfield code="h">758-765</subfield><subfield code="g">8</subfield></datafield></record></collection>
