We review recent progress in our understanding of the global cycling of mercury (Hg),
including best estimates of Hg concentrations and pool sizes in major environmental …

Background Environmental contamination by mercury is and will continue to be a serious
risk for human health. Pollution of the terrestrial environment is particularly important as it is …

This paper provides an up-to-date assessment of global mercury emissions from
anthropogenic and natural sources. On an annual basis, natural sources account for 5207 …

With contributions from more than 75 international experts, this second edition focuses on
toxic substances and how they affect ecosystems worldwide. It presents methods for …

We used unique mesocosms to examine the role that plants play in accumulating and
transforming atmospheric Hg. Several stands of quaking aspen were grown in large gas …

Long-range transport and residence time of elemental Hg (Hg°) in air promote global
dispersion and deposition in remote ecosystems. Many biotic and abiotic factors contribute …

Remediation of mercury (Hg) contaminated sites has long relied on traditional approaches,
such as removal and containment/cap**. Here we review contemporary practices in the …

Despite 30 years of study, gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) exchange magnitude and
controls between terrestrial surfaces and the atmosphere still remain uncertain. We …

A box model of mercury (Hg) cycling between the atmosphere and ocean is described and
used to estimate Hg fluxes on a global scale (The Global/Regional Interhemispheric Mercury …
