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 …

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 …

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 …

In the past 40 years, atmospheric chemists have come to realize that halogens exert a
powerful influence on the chemical composition of the troposphere and through that …

Mercury (Hg) is a highly toxic element that occurs at low concentrations in nature. However,
various anthropogenic and natural sources contribute around 5000 to 8000 metric tons of …

The atmosphere is a key component of the biogeochemical cycle of mercury, acting as a
reservoir, transport mechanism, and facilitator of chemical reactions. The chemical and …

Abstract Anthropogenic mercury (Hg (0)) emissions oxidize to gaseous Hg (II) compounds,
before deposition to Earth surface ecosystems. Atmospheric reduction of Hg (II) competes …

The mercury pollution from coal-fired power plants posed huge threatens to the human
health and the ecological environment. Here, a new type of bimetallic sulfide ZnIn 2 S 4 …

Mercury (Hg), a global contaminant, is emitted mainly in its elemental form Hg0 to the
atmosphere where it is oxidized to reactive HgII compounds, which efficiently deposit to …

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 …
