OCCURRENCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF MERCURY IN THE NORTH WEST BOHEMIA INDUSTRIAL AREA
Abstract
Various heavy metals contained in fuel are released to environment at fossil fuels use. Mercury has come to front of public interest recently. The North West Bohemia region is an area with high potential concentration of Hg emission sources (open pit brown coal mines) and large combustion facilities (power and heat stations) combusting fossil fuels. Mercury is taken for one of the most environment loading matters because its stability and bioaccumulation potential of itself and its compounds. More detailed regulation in the frame of the EU legislation is under consideration as well. Main goal of the project in solution is to collect necessary range of knowledge of Hg in fuels, Hg redistribution data at high temperature combustion, to assess expertly the credibility of Hg information and data and relevance of analytic methods of Hg content measurement in emissions.
