Mercury methylation potential and bioavailability in the sediments of two distinct aquatic systems

Here, this study explored mercury (Hg) methylation potential in two distinct aquatic systems. Fourmile Creek (FMC) was historically polluted with Hg effluents from groundwater as it is a typical gaining stream, where organic matter and microorganisms in streambed are continuously winnowed. The H02 constructed wetland only receives atmospheric Hg and is rich in organic matter and microorganisms. Both systems receive Hg from atmospheric deposition now. Surface sediments were collected from FMC and H02, spiked with inorganic Hg, and cultivated in an anaerobic chamber to stimulate microbial Hg methylation reactions. Total mercury (THg) and methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations were measured at each spiking stage. Mercury methylation potential (MMP, %MeHg in THg) and Hg bioavailability were assessed with the deployment of diffusive gradients in thin films (DGTs). During the methylation process and at the same incubation stage, FMC sediment showed faster increasing rates of %MeHg and higher MeHg concentrations than H02, demonstrating a stronger MMP in the FMC sediment. Similarly, higher Hg bioavailability was observed in FMC sediment compared to the H02 as indicated by DGT-Hg concentrations. In conclusion, the H02 wetland with high levels of organic matter and microorganisms presented low MMP. But the Fourmile Creek as a gaining stream and a historical site of Hg pollution showed strong MMP and high Hg bioavailability. A related study on microbial community activities characterized the microorganisms between FMC and H02, which is attributed to be the main reason for their different methylation capabilities. Our study further brought up the considerations on remediated sites from Hg contamination: Hg bioaccumulation and biomagnification can still be elevated and higher than the surrounding environment due to lagged changes in microbial community structures. This study supported the sustainable ecological modifications of legacy Hg contamination and raised the necessity of long-term monitoring actions even after executing a remediation plan.

Mercury Accumulation in a Stream Ecosystem: Linking Labile Mercury in Sediment Porewaters to Bioaccumulative Mercury in Trophic Webs

Mercury (Hg) deposition and accumulation in the abiotic and biotic environments of a stream ecosystem were studied. This study aimed to link labile Hg in porewater to bioaccumulative Hg in biota. Sediment cores, porewaters, and biota were sampled from four sites along the Fourmile Branch (SC, USA) and measured for total Hg (THg) and methyl-Hg (MHg) concentrations. Water quality parameters were also measured at the sediment–water interface (SWI) to model the Hg speciation. In general, Hg concentrations in porewaters and bulk sediment were relatively high, and most of the sediment Hg was in the solid phase as non-labile species. Surface sediment presented higher Hg concentrations than the medium and bottom layers. Mercury methylation and MHg production in the sediment was primarily influenced by sulfate levels, since positive correlations were observed between sulfate and Hg in the porewaters. The majority of Hg species at the SWI were in non-labile form, and the dominant labile Hg species was complexed with dissolved organic carbon. MHg concentrations in the aquatic food web biomagnified with trophic levels (biofilm, invertebrates, and fish), increasing by 3.31 times per trophic level. Based on the derived data, a modified MHg magnification model was established to estimate the Hg bioaccumulation at any trophic level using Hg concentrations in the abiotic environment (i.e., porewater).
