Municipal solid waste landfills are expected to be potentially important sources of gaseous mercury (Hg)(Lindberg et al. 2005). Such emissions can be difficult to locate and measure, since landfills can have diffuse, non-point emissions and the gas can also escape horizontally over large distances in unsaturated layers. The primary objective in this work was to investigate the possibility of depletion of gaseous mercury by means of moss transplants. The investigation was carried out at Solgård waste disposal site, an active landfill since its start-up in 1978, located in Moss, Norway. Today the landfill is licensed as a landfill for ordinary waste. The area of the landfill is estimated to be about 204 000 m2. Goodman and Roberts (1971) first introduced the “moss bag” technique, which was later modified by Little and Martin (1974). Hylocomium splendens, known for its capability as bio monitor since 1968 (Ruhling & Tyler 1968), was collected from an uncontaminated site, dried at room temperature and loaded in fine meshed nylon nets. Moss bags were made up of a frame of 10 x 10 cm square of thin wood sticks, filled with 1 gram of moss finely distributed and covered up by the nets. The moss bags were placed in two heights, about 40 and 100 cm above ground. A total of 130 moss bags were placed at suitable locations covering the landfill surface, with special attention to such places as gas vents and locations with suspicious odours. For comparison, moss bags were also placed a couple of kilometres north, south, west and east of the landfill. The exposure time was 6 months, lasting from primo October 2013 until the end of March 2014. About 0.2 g samples of air dried moss were subjected to acid digestion in a closed microwave system (260 0C) prior to analysis with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, using an Agilent 8800 QQQ instrument. Results from ongoing work will be presented. References Goodman, G. T. & Roberts, T. M. (1971). Plants and soils as indicators of metals in the air. Nature, 231 (5301): 287-292.
