Observed decrease in atmospheric mercury explained by global decline in anthropogenic emissions
Observations of elemental mercury (Hg0) at sites in North America and Europe show large
decreases (∼ 1–2% y− 1) from 1990 to present. Observations in background northern …

A vegetation control on seasonal variations in global atmospheric mercury concentrations
Anthropogenic mercury emissions are transported through the atmosphere as gaseous
elemental mercury (Hg (0)) before they are deposited to Earth's surface. Strong seasonality …
