Geological and anthropogenic factors influencing mercury speciation in mine wastes: an EXAFS spectroscopy study

Mercury (Hg) speciation influences mobility, reactivity, and bioavailability in areas impacted by Hg mining. Physical, geological, and human influences also affect Hg behavior and fate. The degree of influence of these variables on Hg speciation was studied using extended X-ray absorption fine struc...
