Mercury (Hg) is a metal emitted by both natural and anthropogenic sources. It is of global concern owing to its long-range atmospheric transport, its persistence in the environment, its ability to bioaccumulate in ecosystems, and its negative effects on human health. Large uncertainties associated w...
