Methylmercury Declines in a Boreal Peatland When Experimental Sulfate Deposition Decreases. Environmental Science & Technology. Retrieved from but remained elevated relative to control levels. Mosquito larvae collected from each treatment at the end of the experiment exhibited HgT concentrations reflective of MeHg levels in the peat and porewaters where they were collected. The proportional responses of invertebrate HgT to sulfate deposition rates demonstrate that further controls on sulfur emissions may represent an additional means of mitigating Hg contamination in fish and wildlife across low-sulfur landscapes.",NULL"
