The influence of humic acid (HA) on the transport and transformation of mercury (Hg) in soil was studied. No available Hg could be detected (<2.5 μg kg^sup -1^) in alluvial soil when the content of HA-carbon (HA-C) was higher than 0.2 g kg^sup -1^ although a large amount of Hg (8 μg kg^sup -1^) w...
