摘要
Results of atmospheric total gaseous mercury (TGM) measurements performed at two Baltic Sea coastal stations, Peninsula Hel (Poland) and Preila (Lithuania), from June 16 to August 11, 1997, are presented. High time-resolution data were obtained by using automated atomic absorption mercury vapor analyzers (Model Gardis-1A). Analysis of TGM concentration data (directional distribution, correlation with meteorological parameters, diurnal variability) detected the Baltic sea, in particular its southern part and Gulf of Gdansk, as the main gaseous mercury source for the region during the summer months. The source seemed to be activated by solar radiation, air temperature, and, probably, wind. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
