This book brings together authors with expertise in a wide range of
fields to provide an up to the minute overview of the most
important problems relating to mercury in the environment. The book
reflects growing concern over the likelihood of harmful effects to
human health and sensitive ecosystems posed by mercury in the light
of increasing fossil fuel combustion, mercury use in a range of
manufactured goods, and the lack of emission control policies.
Concern has been expressed at local, national, and international
levels; in the last three years both the European Commission and
UNEP have published reports on mercury in the environment. Growing
concern has led to an increased effort to understand the fate of
mercury in the environment, including primary production and trade
in mercury, emissions from manufacturing and power generation,
natural emissions and re-emission, atmospheric transport and
transformation, deposition patterns, uptake by biota, and eventual
health impacts on living organisms. The increasing specialisation,
and amount of research in the numerous scientific fields associated
with the study of the fate of mercury in the environment, make the
publication of this book both necessary and timely. For experts,
and non-experts, who require both the broader picture, as well as
an awareness of the latest progress in the fields relevant to
mercury research, this book provides the most comprehensive and up
to date overview available. The book has five sections.
