Influence of Dissolved Organic Carbon, pH, and Microbial Respiration Rates on Mercury Methylation and Demethylation in Lake Water

Effects of changes in DOC concentrations, pH, and microbial respiration rates on specific rates of mercury methylation and demethylation in lake water were studied using radioisotopic techniques. I...
