'Integrating Knowledge to Inform Mercury Policy'

Following the 9th International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant (ICMGP) in China in June 2009, a special issue of Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics is being released on Atmospheric mercury.  Discussion papers are available to view here. Special issues of Applied Geochemistry  (on Mercury in contaminated sites) and Water Air and Soil Pollution (Focus on biogeochemistry of mercury in the environment) are also planned.
