Hg<sup>0</sup> concentrations in the Scheldt estuary range from 0.1 to 0.38 pmol•l<sup>-1</sup> in the winter and from 0.24 to 0.65 pmol•l<sup>-1</sup> in the summer and show a positive relationship with phytoplankton pigments. In the North Sea Hg<sup>0</sup> concentrations range from 0.06 to 0.8 pmol•l<sup>-1</sup> and are higher in coastal stations. Transfer velocities across the air–sea interface were calculated using a classical shear turbulence model. Volatilization fluxes of Hg<sup>0</sup> were calculated for the Scheldt estuary and the North Sea. For the Scheldt estuary the fluxes range from 226–284 pmol•m<sup>-2</sup>•d<sup>-1</sup> in winter and 500–701 pmol•m<sup>-2</sup>•d<sup>-1</sup> in summer and for the North Sea the fluxes range from 59–1110 pmol•m<sup>-2</sup>•d<sup>-1</sup> for an average windspeed of 8.1 m•s<sup>-1</sup>. These fluxes are comparable to the wet and dry depositional fluxes to the North Sea. Hg<sup>0</sup> formation rates necessary to balance the volatilization fluxes vary from 0.2 to 4% d<sup>-1</sup>.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Elemental mercury concentrations and formation rates in the Scheldt estuary and the North Sea","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-17 01:31:28.659825","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"    mercury;     Scheldt River;     North Sea;     phytoplankton;     volatization","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":1998,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2015-10-27","DateCreate":"2002-12-10","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000073979800009","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1016/S0304-4203(97)00102-3"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":29970,"PubliDate":1998,"Pagination":"257-266","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"60","Issue":"3-4","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43353,"SerRR":"Marine Chemistry.
