| Abstract: | Some results of a 2-year study of mercury pollution of the Katun river (Siberia) are summarised. Measurements of water flow, sediment transport and mercury concentrations were made and used to calculate the amount of mercury transported by the river. The distribution of transport between water phase and suspended material is calculated. It is concluded that suspended sediments play the main role in this process. The significance of different fractions of suspended sediment is also discussed. |
