Project description
The main aim of the project is to collect Finnish published data about mercury levels from environment, wild-life and humans. The existing ecological (sediments, fish) and air chemistry/deposition data for AMAP Hg-report are primarily monitoring data, which are collected under national or international monitoring/research programs. Some relevant fish data has been collected also under different research projects. Data of human health (exposure) is project data, and previously collected campaign-type samples and results will be analysed in this project.
Adjunct professor Khaled Abass and prof Arja Rautio are participating in this project.
