MeHg and THg Concentrations in Hawaiian Invertebrates and Surface Soils
Newell H, O'Driscoll N, Hillier K, Rubinoff D. MeHg and THg Concentrations in Hawaiian Invertebrates and Surface Soils. Research Permit and Reporting System
This project used a combination of soil THg and invertebrate MeHg samples from 15 locations to examine mercury distribution on the island of Hawai’i. Invertebrates were identified to their taxonomic family, and MeHg data grouped by functional feeding group (i.e., herbivores, omnivores, or carnivores). The carnivore group was significantly higher in MeHg than both the omnivore and herbivore groups (p<0.05). THg in soils was significantly higher in the Kilaeua slope group.
