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<sup>0</sup>. Oxidation to water-soluble Hg<sup>II</sup> plays a major role in Hg deposition to ecosystems. Here, we implement a new mechanism for atmospheric Hg<sup>0</sup> ∕ Hg<sup>II...
