Mercury is very sparse in Finnish rocks and soils. Some mercury occurs in the ore of the Outokumpu mine, SE Finland. Metal ore from this mine is refined in the metallurgical plants at Kokkola and Harjavalta. Elevated mercury contents have been observed in the environment of the plant at Kokkola but no data have been published about the possible mercury contamination around the Harjavalta plant.
