  • Mercury transport and fate models in aquatic systems - a review and synthesis
    Zhu, Senlin ; Zhang, Zhonglong ; Žagar, Dušan, 1963-
    Mercury contamination in aquatic systems has been an issue to the natural ecosystem and human health. Environmental models have become a valuable decision-making tool and play a significant role in ... mercury pollution control and management. This paper gives an overview of currently available models for simulating mercury transport and fate in aquatic systems. The mercury transformation mechanisms included in these models were identified, aswell as data limitations in themodels' application. Future advances in understandingmercury transport, cycling, and biogeochemistry in both water column and sediment will improve the robustness of current modeling applications. Moreover, additional field data are critically needed to better predict the concentrations of multi-phase mercury species in various aquatic systems, including measurements in the water column, benthic sediments, and organisms. Field data are also crucial formodel calibration and validation.Without this information it will not be possible to adequately understand the environmental factors controlling mercury fate in aquatic systems. The insufficient quantity of adequatemeasurements and the unsatisfactory accuracy ofmercury models are, in numerous cases, supplemented by mass balances since they diminish the unreliability of models. Mercury science evolves gradually with the advancement of science and technology, which requires that mathematical modeling of mercury transport and transformation should be consistently updated.
