| | Title | Bioavailability and potential effects of mercury and other selected trace metals on |
| | biota in Plow Shop and Grove Pond, Fort Devens, MA |
| | Project Description | Objectives of the project are (1) to determine the uptake of total mercury, methyl mercury, |
| | arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead by aquatic invertebrates, and transfer of metals to |
| | insectivorous birds at Plow Shop and Grove ponds, (2) to determine if mercury and other trace |
| | metals are being transferred from Plow Shop and Grove ponds to downstream locations, and (3) |
| | determine the chronology of metal deposition to the sediments of the two lakes. |
| | Keywords | aquatic invertebrates, contaminant transfer, fort devens, mercury, trace metals, tree swallows, |
