MERCURY IN THE FAROE ISLANDS — A REVIEW OF AVAILABLE DATA
Acknowledgement
The changing staff of colleagues who have
participated in the sampling, sample prepa-
ration and reporting procedures during the
years are gratefully acknowledged for their
meticulous work and willingness to do a
good job at all times. Thanks also to Hans
Borg, for commenting on the manuscript
and thereby giving me a chance to improve
it.
