Mercury is a fascinating fluid metal that exists as liquid at 25 C (0 C= 273 K). This silver
colored d-block heavy metal exhibits noble-gas-like characteristics and solidifies at a …

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 …

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 …

Uncovers the Key Role Microbes Play in the Transformation of Oxidizable and Reducible
MineralsMany areas of geomicrobial processes are receiving serious attention from …

Global models of atmospheric mercury generally assume that gas-phase OH and ozone are
the main oxidants converting Hg 0 to Hg II and thus driving mercury deposition to …

It was discovered in 1995 that, during the spring time, unexpectedly low concentrations of
gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) occurred in the Arctic air. This was surprising for a …

We use a global 3‐D model of atmospheric mercury (GEOS‐Chem) to interpret worldwide
observations of total gaseous mercury (TGM) and reactive gaseous mercury (RGM) in terms …

Elemental mercury (Hg 0) has different behavior in the environment compared to other
pollutants due to its unique properties. It can remain in the atmosphere for long periods of …

Photochemical reduction of Hg (II) by various low-molecular-weight organic compounds
(LMWOC) was investigated to evaluate the effect of specific functional groups that are …

We present a new chemical mechanism for Hg0/HgI/HgII atmospheric cycling, including
recent laboratory and computational data, and implement it in the GEOS-Chem global …
