Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that emits in large quantities to the atmosphere (> 6,000–
8,000 Mg Hg per year) through anthropogenic activities, biomass burning, geogenic …

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 …

Mercury emissions from artisanal and small-scale gold mining throughout the Global South
exceed coal combustion as the largest global source of mercury. We examined mercury …

Mercury (Hg) researchers have made progress in understanding atmospheric Hg, especially
with respect to oxidized Hg (HgII) that can represent 2 to 20% of Hg in the atmosphere …

Detrimental effects of mercury (Hg) on ecosystems and human health have been well-
documented. Whereas emissions of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) from e-waste …

Ratification of the Minamata Convention on Mercury has led to the establishment of
Peruvian regulations limiting mercury concentrations in air to 2000 ng/m 3 over a 24-hr …

Abstract The Minamata Convention on Mercury (Hg) requires improved atmospheric Hg
monitoring and characterization of Hg sources. Here we demonstrate how a network of …

Lichens play an important role in the biogeochemical cycling of mercury (Hg) and are
commonly used as indicators of Hg enrichment in remote and anthropogenically impacted …

Southeast Asia (SEA) has been suggested as a hotspot of mercury (Hg) emission worldwide
but research on atmospheric Hg remains scarce in this region. This study reported …

Reliably recording very low ambient concentrations of gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) in
remote regions is often required, for example in the context of evaluating how effective the …
