Mercury pollution poses global human health and environmental risks. Although mercury is
naturally present in the environment, human activities, such as coal burning, have increased …

This paper presents a broad overview and synthesis of current knowledge and
understanding pertaining to all major aspects of mercury in the atmosphere. The significant …

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that affects human and ecosystem health. We synthesize
understanding of sources, atmosphere-land-ocean Hg dynamics and health effects, and …

A panel of international experts was convened in Madison, Wisconsin, in 2005, as part of the
8th International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant. Our charge was to address …

Atmospheric deposition is a primary pathway by which mercury (Hg) enters terrestrial and
aquatic ecosystems; however, the chemical and meteorological processes that Hg …

Atmospheric mercury is predominantly present in the gaseous elemental form (Hg0).
However, anthropogenic emissions (eg, incineration, fossil fuel combustion) emit and …

Mercury (Hg) is one of the most toxic global pollutants of continuing concern, posing a
severe threat to human health and wildlife. Due to its mobility, Hg is easily transported …

Coal combustion accounts for approximately two-thirds of global anthropogenic mercury
(Hg) emissions. Enhanced deposition of Hg can occur close to coal-fired utility boilers …

Interaction between Hg (II) and dissolved organic matter (DOM) collected from surface water
samples of the Florida Everglades was studied using different fluorescence spectroscopic …

Observed wet deposition fluxes of mercury in the United States show a maximum in the
Southeast, and a consistent seasonal variation (maximum in summer, minimum in winter) …
