Spatial coverage and temporal trends of atmospheric mercury measurements in Polar Regions
The discovery of atmospheric mercury depletion events (AMDEs) in the Canadian Arctic at Alert in 1995 initiated the intense study of atmospheric Hg processes. Mercury has unique characteristics that include long-range atmospheric transport to regions like the Arctic and the Antarctica, the transform...

The discovery of atmospheric mercury depletion events (AMDEs) in the Canadian Arctic at Alert in 1995 initiated the intense study of atmospheric Hg processes. Mercury has unique characteristics that include long-range atmospheric transport to regions like the Arctic and the Antarctica, the transformation to more toxic methylmercury compounds and the ability of these compounds to biomagnify in the aquatic food chain. Following the discovery of AMDEs, studies have been conducted throughout Polar Regions where the same phenomenon was observed.
