Graphs representing the concentration of total mercury (THg) detected in different vegetation and other types of samples collected at each studied location. The line data series ‘BHg’ represents the threshold concentrations of mercury permissible in food (in case of leaf, litterfall, root, and moss samples), water (for freshwater from lakes and waterbodies), used for better visualization of degree of contamination. The threshold values used were 0.02 mg/kg for all vegetation samples (EFSA), and 5 ng/l for water samples, respectively.
