Essential themes in the biochemical cycling of mercury are the
relative importance of anthropogenic versus natural sources,
transformation and migration processes at the local, regional and
global scale, global emission inventories of different mercury
sources (both point and diffuse) of both natural and anthropogenic
origin. In this regard, Siberia, with its vast territory and
variety of natural zones, is of special interest in the global
mercury cycle and in terms of the influence of geographical zones
on source and sink terms in regional budgets. Siberia contains
large areas of mercuriferous belts; natural deposits that emit
mercury into the atmosphere and water. Siberian gold has been mined
with the use of mercury since the early 1800s. But there, too, huge
forest zones and vast areas of tundra and wetland (bogs) can act as
efficient sinks for atmospheric mercury. Audience: Environmental
scientists, legislators, politicians and the interested citizen
wishing to gain a clear picture of the biogeochemical cycling of
mercury.
