The present study documents the Hg content in 45 urban topsoil samples from the highly urbanized city of Athens, Greece. The Hg concentrations were quantified by applying <i>aqua regia</i> digestion on the <100 μm soil fraction followed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) with a detection limit of 5 μg·kg⁻¹. The median concentration of Hg in Athens soil is 96 μg·kg⁻¹; ten out of 45 soil samples...</100>
