Toward an Assessment of the Global Inventory of Present-Day Mercury Releases to Freshwater Environments

Toward an Assessment of the Global Inventory of Present-Day Mercury Releases to Freshwater Environments

Aquatic ecosystems are an essential component of the biogeochemical cycle of mercury (Hg), as inorganic Hg can be converted to toxic methylmercury (MeHg) in these environments and reemissions of elemental Hg rival anthropogenic Hg releases on a global scale. Quantification of effluent Hg releases to...
