Abstract
Mercury concentrations in precipitation and in air collected in a Mediterranean area were in the range of 7.9-17.0 ng ℓ-1 and 5.7-20.2 ng m-3, respectively. These values are similar to those reported in the literature for other geographic locations. The time dependence of dissolved Hg concentration in rain is discussed to clarify the efficiency of the washout mechanism. Anthropogenic Hg emission and the vaporization from cinnabar deposits seem to influence Hg levels in the atmosphere only on a local scale. © 1986.
