Abstract

With the great development of automobile industry and road system, the pollution of automobile exhaust becomes more and more serious, also mercury pollution. Burning mercury-rich fuel oil was thought the essence of pollution source. It´s found that elemental mercury (Hg0), divalent reactive gaseous mercury (RGM), and particulate mercury (Hg (p)) from gasoline. The content of mercury is LPG>;gasoline>; diesel fuel. The forming condition of oil-gas field was obviously similar to mercury ore site, and thus assessment of oil-gas field their mercury contents should be measured. The study of seven road sections of Guilin demonstrated that there are obvious mercury pollution in atmosphere, soil and plants.
