Description: EPA evaluated the total mercury representative of vegetables and/or fruit and colocated soil from several gardens located in Dayton and Silver City (OU1) for the purpose of the Human Health Risk Assessment investigation. EPA published this data in support of the Carson River Mercury NPL Site in Nevada.
Data was compiled and evaluated for the OU1 Remedial Investigation Report (EPA, 1994), which describes the nature and extent of contamination from the Site. The reports contain the Human Health Risk Assessment and Ecological Risk Assessment Reports. Literature and other source Hg data are summarized in the RI report for upland source areas.
