Abstract
The uptake of merkury by plants and animals in the immediate vicinity of a chlor-alkali plant is determined. Thereby it appeared that plants take up mercury from the air and accumulate it in assimilation tissue. Uptake and accumulation of mercury are manifested by in vivo experiments. Es wird die Quecksilberbelastung von Flora und Fauna in unmittelbarer Umgebung einer Chlor-Alkalielektrolyse bestimmt. Hierbei zeigt sich, daß die Pflanze Quecksilber aus der Luft aufnimmt und im Assimilationsgewebe speichert, was durch in vivo-Versuche bestätigt wird.Keywords
