Mercury transfer from soil to olive trees. A comparison of three different contaminated sites.

Mercury contents in soil and olive tree leaves have been studied in 69 plots around three different source areas of this element in Spain: Almadén (Ciudad Real), Flix (Tarragona) and Jódar (Jaén). Almadén was the world’s largest cinnabar (HgS) mining district and was active until 2003, Flix is the o...

Total mercury contents have been measured by high-frequency modulation atomic absorption spectrometry with Zeeman effect (ZAAS-HFM) in the soils and olive tree leaves from the three studied areas. The average soil contents range from 182 µg kg-1 in Flix to 23,488 µg kg-1 in Almadén, while the average leaf content ranges from 161 µg kg-1 in Jódar to 1213 µg kg-1 in Almadén.
