Abstract
On the basis of dated bottom sediment cores, layers accumulated in the pre-industrial period were selected. They determine the mercury concentrations, which are the geochemical background for the selected water areas. The variability of mercury concentrations in the sediments of the inner shelf is small (20–30 μg/kg) and can be used as a basis for environmental assessment in the economic development of the Arctic regions.
