“…The Chinese coastal environment is also affected by pollutant discharge from land. Many coastal waters near large cities contain up 300 ng L À1 THg in seawater [73], which is much higher than the concentrations in coastal seawater with dense populations in the United States and Europe (0.3-4 ng L À1 ) [74][75][76]. Two other studies showed that Hg concentrations in the Yellow Sea and the South China Sea were as low as a few ng L À1 [70,77].…”

“…The sample bottle was then filled, immediately recapped, double bagged, and stored in the cooler for transport back to the laboratory. 37 The suspended particulate material was removed by filtering the estuarine water through a 0.45 μm Whatman GF/C filter (Millipore) that had been pre-cleaned by heating in a furnace overnight at 400 °C using acid-cleaned glassware and other filtering apparatus 37 and then was processed using the technique described by Sato et al 13 Three filters were collected per sample. The filtration apparatus was rinsed with clean acid and then Milli-Q-water between samples.…”

“…Across various aquatic systems, river-estuary systems are important ecological environments. In recent years, Hg cycling in estuarine and coastal marine environments have been widely studied (Merritt and Amirbahamn, 2009;Pan and Wang, 2012;Mason et al, 1999;Laurier et al, 2003;Lawson et al, 2001;Han et al, 2006;Can ario et al, 2008;Choe et al, 2004;Conaway et al, 2003). There are only a few reports on the Hg contamination in Chinese estuaries, where high levels of Hg commonly are encountered, caused by the rapid industrial developments (Wang et al, 2009, Luo et al, 2012Gao et al, 2014;Ci et al, 2011).…”
