Nicola Pirrone,Sergio Cinnirella,Xinbin Feng,R. B. Finkelman,Hans R. Friedli,Joy J. Leaner,Robert P. Mason,Arun B. Mukherjee,Glenn B. Stracher,David G. Streets,Kevin Telmer +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an up-to-date assessment of global mercury emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources, including re-emission processes and primary emissions from natural reservoirs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury in the Chesapeake Bay
Robert P. Mason,Nicole M. Lawson,Angie L. Lawrence,Joy J. Leaner,Jenny G. Lee,Guey Rong Sheu +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the biogeochemical cycling of Hg in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, including sampling transects into Baltimore Harbor, a region where sediment Hg concentrations can exceed 5 nmol g−1 and sediment MMHg concentrations approach 50 pmolg−1.
Book ChapterDOI
Global Mercury Emissions to the Atmosphere from Natural and Anthropogenic Sources
Nicola Pirrone,Sergio Cinnirella,Xinbin Feng,Robert B. Finkelman,Hans R. Friedli,Joy J. Leaner,Robert P. Mason,Arun B. Mukherjee,Glenn B. Stracher,David G. Streets,Kevin Telmer +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided an up-to-date overview of global mercury emissions from natural and anthropogenic sources at country and regional/continental scale, including the contribution from oceans and other surface waters, rocks, top soils and vegetation, volcanoes and other geothermal activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropogenic mercury emissions in South Africa: Coal combustion in power plants
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential sources of Hg to the South African environment were assessed by focussing particularly on coal combustion at the country's coal-fired power plants, with an estimated average emission of 9.6.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and application of a poly(2,2′-dithiodianiline) (PDTDA)-coated screen-printed carbon electrode in inorganic mercury determination
TL;DR: In this article, monomer solutions of aniline and 2,2′-dithiodianiline (DTDA) were prepared and used in the electrochemical copolymerisation of ANI and DTDA by cyclic voltammetry on a screen-printed electrode (SPE) in 1M HCl.
