Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to announce a new Special Issue in the journal Pollutants called “New Advances in Global Mercury Pollution”. Mercury pollution affects water, air, soils, and most importantly the food web due to its ability to bioaccumulate as methylmercury. The Minimata Convention seeks to regulate, on a global scale, mercury emissions into the environment, yet information on key processes and pathways is still uncertain, leading to difficulty in predicting the efficacy of reductions in anthropogenic releases. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish papers in the general discipline of biogeochemistry that investigate processes, pathways, sources, and sinks for mercury in a variety of environmental media from anywhere on the Earth. Papers that consider interactions between mercury and other elements, such as sulfur or selenium, in addition to novel methods of measurements, are particularly welcome. The papers can be measurement- or modeling-based, applied, or theoretical.
Dr. Peter Weiss-Penzias
