EMMMA: A web-based system for environmental mercury mapping, modeling, and analysis
Mercury in our environment - in our air, water, soil, and especially our food - poses significant hazards to human health, particularly for developing fetuses and young children. Because of the importance of this issue and the length of time it has been studied, large and complex data sets of mercury concentrations in various media and associated...
Hearn,, Paul P.; Wente, Stephen P.; Donato, David I.; Aguinaldo, John J.A statistical model and national data set for partioning fish-tissue mercury concentration variation between spatiotemporal and sample characteristic effects
Many Federal, Tribal, State, and local agencies monitor mercury in fish-tissue samples to identify sites with elevated fish-tissue mercury (fish-mercury) concentrations, track changes in fish-mercury concentrations over time, and produce fish-consumption advisories. Interpretation of such monitoring data commonly is impeded by difficulties in...
