Abstract
⺠About 7.0 kg/y of geothermal Hg exits Yellowstone National Park via the Madison River. ⺠87% of that Hg load lost to sedimentation and volatilization in first downstream lake ⺠Hg concentrations in water, sediment, and trout are high upstream from lake. ⺠Hg concentrations in water, sediment, and fish are not elevated below lake. ⺠Bioaccumulation of Hg in fish correlated with total Hg in water and sediment.
