Can Sediments Contaminated by Mining be a Source of Mercury in the Coastal Environment Due to Dredging? Evidence from Thermo-Desorption and Chemical Speciation.

The surface sediments displayed a variability of two orders of magnitude for THg concentrations: from 0.30 mg kg −1 (NS-12) to 13.5 mg kg −1 (NS-5), showing a decreasing trend from the offshore area to the innermost sector of the port (Table 1 ).
