these ores, and of mercury itself, by humans has a long history
mercury was found in Egyptian tombs dating from 1500 BC. This book
attempts to cover recent developments and the current
state-of-the-art relating to many aspects of mercury science. The
contributions made by the author teams encompass diverse fields of
mercury science such as the monitoring of mercury in various
environmental media and the management of mercury in the earth's
ecological system. Efforts have also been made to provide detailed
insights into developments in novel chemistry involving mercury and
its compounds. This book's coverage is expanded further to cover
