Ramos-Miras, J.J. | Gil, C. | Roca-Perez, L. | Boluda, R.
This study determines for first time determine levels of Hg in greenhouse soils and its temporal trend in an Mediterranean area using a USEPA (2007) method and it investigates possible relationships between soil properties and elemental concentrations. The results show that the Hg concentration in these soils is in the same order than those reported by other authors working on Spanish agricultural soils, although a significant increased in Hg content in soils was detected with the period of soil cultivation. Significant correlations between mercury and soil properties were found which suggested that Hg is mainly retained by soil organic compounds.
