Abstract: | The fate of dissolved Hg(II) in surface waters is an important component of the Hg cycle. A simple experimental methodology
was used to understand and measure the transport of Hg(II) from water to air and sediment. The use of radioactive dissolved
Hg tracer for the determination of evasion and deposition is found to be a very useful technique. The evasion of mercury was
investigated during a 140-hour period. It was observed that about a quarter of mercury chloride remained in the water phase,
the other quarter was emitted via the evasion process and half of it deposited in sediment.
