• Formation and availability of methylmercury in mercury-contaminated sediment: effects of activated carbon and biochar amendments 

      Sørmo, Erlend; Silvani, Ludovica; Braaten, Hans Fredrik Veiteberg; Bryntesen, Tina; Eek, Espen; Cornelissen, Gerard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Purpose As the formation of toxic and bioaccumulative methylmercury (MeHg) in Hg-contaminated sediments is of great concern worldwide, suitable remediation options are needed. Activated carbon (AC) amendment is a contested ...
