Abstract
The traveler attended the conference Mercury as an Environmental Pollutant'' and presented a technical poster entitled Biotransformations of Mercury in Contaminated and Control Streams in Relation to the Abundance of Microbial Gene Sequences Encoding Mercury Resistance.'' Although a great deal of the subject matter of the conference dealt with the biogeochemical cycling of mercury in aquatic and terrestrial systems which have not been subjected directly to industrial pollution, several presentations addressed contamination scenarios similar to those at the Oak Ridge site. These included one presentation concerning application of ion exchange resins in the treatment of mercury-contaminated wastewater and soil, and several concerning the role of mercury-resistant bacteria in biotransformations of mercury at contaminated sites. The Swedish experience with various methods of treating lakes to reduce mercury in fish was the subject of several presentations and one field trip.
