TL;DR: A detailed simulation of the atmospheric mercury in a domain that covers a significant part of North America and includes not only anthropogenic mercury emissions but also those from natural sources including vegetation, soil and water is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a Hg emission model including natural sources; incorporated it into the CMAQ-Hg model (US EPA) and used it to study the behavior of Hg in the atmosphere.

TL;DR: The authors of as mentioned in this paper argue that about half of the world's population now lives in urban areas because of the opportunity for a better quality of life and that these urban centers are expanding rapidly, leading to the growth of me...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have added the capability to simulate polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorined dibenzo [p] dioxins andpolychlorinated dibenzzo-furans (PCDD/Fs) to the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system, thus taking advantage of the latter's capability to simulation atmospheric advection, diffusion, gas-phase chemistry, cloud/precipitation, and aerosol processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the atmospheric fate of polychlorinated dibenzo-p -dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorined dibenzofurans (PCDFs) was simulated for the year 2000 in North America using a SMOKE/CMAQ-based chemical transport model.
