Mercury (Hg) is a toxic metal released into the environment through human activities and
natural processes. Human activities have profoundly increased the amount of Hg in the …

China presently contributes the largest amount of anthropogenic mercury (Hg) emission into
the atmosphere in the world. Over the past decade, numerous studies have been conducted …

Mercury (Hg) is emitted to the atmosphere mainly as volatile elemental Hg 0. Oxidation to
water-soluble Hg II plays a major role in Hg deposition to ecosystems. Here, we implement a …

Anthropogenic mercury emissions are transported through the atmosphere as gaseous
elemental mercury (Hg (0)) before they are deposited to Earth's surface. Strong seasonality …

By modulating the Earth-atmosphere energy, hydrological and biogeochemical cycles, and
affecting regional-to-global weather and climate, biomass burning is recognized as one of …

The present and future air contamination by mercury is and will continue to be a serious risk
for human health. This publication presents a review of the literature dealing with the issues …

Mercury (Hg) is a global atmospheric pollutant. In its oxidized form (Hg II), it can readily
deposit to ecosystems, where it may bioaccumulate and cause severe health effects. High …

HUmic-LIke Substances (HULIS) are an abundant unresolved mixture of organic
compounds present in atmospheric samples. Biomass burning (BB) has been recognized as …

There exists observational evidence that gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) can be readily
removed from the atmosphere via chemical oxidation followed by deposition in the polar and …

High altitude mountaintop observatories provide the opportunity to study aerosol properties
in the free troposphere without the added expense and difficulty of making airborne …
