Global atmospheric model for mercury including oxidation by bromine atoms

Global models of atmospheric mercury generally assume that gas-phase OH and ozone are the main oxidants converting Hg<sup>0</sup> to Hg<sup>II</sup> and thus driving mercury deposition to ecosystems. However, thermodynamic considerations argue...
