Springer - Mercury Fate and Transport in the Global Atmosphere

Understand the complex dynamics of mercury movement through our environment with this comprehensive scientific resource from Springer. This text addresses the critical concerns surrounding mercury, specifically its existence and bioaccumulation as methylmercury in aquatic organisms. Because methylmercury affects higher trophic level organisms and their consumers, it remains a primary driver for global research and environmental regulation. This publication provides deep insights into the processes affecting the transfer of mercury (Hg) from emission sources to aquatic systems. It serves as a foundational reference for the current UNEP Global Partnership for Mercury Transport and Fate Research (UNEP F&T) initiative. Whether you are studying environmental law, natural resource management, or atmospheric science, this book offers the necessary data on emissions, measurements, and models to understand how mercury impacts our world.
