Dynamics of Mercury Pollution on Regional and Global Scales : Atmospheric Processes and Human Exposures Around the World /
Mercury pollution in different regions of the world is a growing concern from an environmental and epidemiological point of view. The increasing trends of energy production from fossil fuel combustion, mercury usage in a large variety of goods and products, and the lack of emission control policy, e...
