We found spatio-temporal variation in THg levels in the Danshuei coastal area was the result of sources and supplies of Hg. High THg concentrations in sediments and seawater were particularly found near the effluent outfall. Average THg levels (avg.: 9-22 ng L-1) were much higher than those in surrounding coastal seawaters (avg.:1-2 ng L-1). Organic carbon contents then played vital roles in controlling water and sedimentary Hg concentrations and occurrences. Hg enrichment factor (EF) as an index of contamination status in surface sediments of the Danshuei coastal area averaged 2.0 +/- 0.8 (EFs > 1), indicating an extra non-crustal source from anthropogenic loadings. It implies the Dansheui coastal environment nearby the sewer outfall is facing Hg pollution. |
