Mercury speciation in raw sediments of the pontevedra estuary (Galicia‐Spain)

Abstract The results of the first sampling campaign for Mercury speciation in the Pontevedra estuary (Spain) are presented. Attempts have been made to correlate the behaviour of inorganic and methyl‐mercury in sediments close waste waters treatment system and the location of the dumping point.
