Mercury levels in rain and air and the subsequent washout mechanism in a central italian region
TLDR
In this paper, the time dependence of dissolved Hg concentration in rain is discussed to clarify the efficiency of the washout mechanism and anthropogenic Hg emission and the vaporization from cinnabar deposits seem to influence Hg levels in the atmosphere only on a local scale.About:

Occurrence and turnover of atmospheric mercury over the nordic countries
TL;DR: A seasonal variation of both particle and gaseous Hg concentrations in the atmosphere is present in south-western Sweden as mentioned in this paper, with yearly average values from 3.2 to 2.8 ng m−3.
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution and cycling of mercury species in the western Mediterranean
TL;DR: In this paper, total mercury concentrations were determined in water samples from ten vertical profiles in the western Mediterranean, and they were characterized by a maximum just below the thermocline, which was mainly developed in regions with relatively high primary production in the overlying waters.

Atmospheric mercury in northern Wisconsin: Sources and species
TL;DR: In this article, the atmospheric chemistry, deposition and transport of mercury (Hg) in the Upper Great Lakes region is investigated at a near-remote sampling location in northern Wisconsin.

Mercury in the atmosphere
TL;DR: In the San Francisco Bay area (Los Altos) winter concentrations range from slightly over ½ to 25 nanograms of mercury per cubic meter of air as mentioned in this paper, while summer concentrations range between slightly over 1 to 50 nanograms per cubic meters.

Voltammetry in the analysis of atmospheric pollutants
TL;DR: In this paper, a new particularly sensitive and reliable procedure to determine trace metal levels in rain and snow is presented, which demonstrates the versatile potentialities of this approach to follow trace metals levels in the dissolved state and that bound to particulate matter associated with rain water and snow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total airborne mercury and its possible origin
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the total airborne Hg in air may be divided into two fractions: the most important one may be considered to be a background and is probably the result of re-emission of Hg by the ground and by natural water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mercury in southern New England coastal rains
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed the same analysis on nine different rain samples collected from Connecticut and Cape Cod (Massachusetts) coastal locations and found that concentrations of Hg averaged 10±5 ng l−1 for 29 determinations.

TL;DR: In this article, two different methods, radioactive tracer and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), have been used to study the distribution of CH3HgCl between gas phase and aqueous solution.
