Item Complexation and Bioavailability of Dissolved Mercury Evaluation by Hplc and a Novel Au-Hydrogel Analytical Sensor Protocol.(University of the Western Cape, 2017) Le Roux, Shirley Theodora Rose; Baker, P.G.; Crouch, A.M.Anthropogenic sources as well as natural contributions (e.g. volcanic activity and evaporation from the oceans) have increased mercury levels in the environment. Mercury deposits mainly in sediments, and it finally ends up in aquatic systems. Sediments are capable of immobilising toxic metals but this does not guarantee that the metals are safely removed from aquatic systems.
