英文摘要 | Understanding the geochemical cycle of mercury (Hg) in the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau is of great value for studying the long-range transport of Hg. Herein, speciation and isotopic compositions of Hg in the muscle and feathers of upland buzzards (Buteo hemilasius) were studied to trace the terrestrial transformation of Hg in the Tibetan Plateau. Very low Hg content and relatively low 8 202 Hg values (feather: -0.77 +/- 0.50 parts per thousand, n = 9, muscle: -1.29 +/- 0.29 parts per thousand, n = 13, 1SD) were observed in upland buzzards. In contrast, the A 199 Hg values could be as high as 2.89 parts per thousand in collected samples. To our knowledge, this is the highest Delta Hg-199 value reported in avian tissues. Moreover, upland buzzards showed significantly different Delta Hg-199 values from fish collected from the same region, suggesting different generation and transformation processes of methylmercury (MeHg) in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. We speculated that different percentages of Hg undergoing photochemical reactions and contributions of atmospheric MeHg were possible reasons for observed differences. The results provide new clues for different circulation histories of Hg in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, which will be critical for further study of geochemical cycle and ecological risk of Hg in the environment. |
