ABSTRACT
This paper present a discussion of selected factors affecting on distribution and behaviour of mercury species in bottom sediments. This paper demonstrates that microorganisms, inorganic sulphides, organic matter, iron and manganese hydroxides, red-ox potential, chlorides and temperature are the main factors controlling the behaviour of this element in bottom sediments.
