Mercury physicochemical and biogeochemical transformation in the atmosphere and at atmospheric interfaces: a review and future directions
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 new mechanism for atmospheric mercury redox chemistry: implications for the global mercury budget
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 …

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 …
