Abstract:Redox chemistry controls the behavior of mercury during long‐range atmospheric transport. Despite major progress in understanding the oxidation process in the atmosphere, the mechanism of mercury reduction, especially the aqueous‐phase and multi‐phase reactions in cloudwater, remains poorly known. Here we report experimentally determined rates of in‐cloud mercury photoreduction using cloudwater samples collected from a forested area in the Canary Islands, Spain. Mercury concentrations in cloudwater varied grea… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
