Abstract:Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous environmental toxicant that has caused global concern due to its persistence and bioaccumulation in the environment. Wet deposition is a crucial Hg input for both terrestrial and aquatic environments and is a significant indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of anthropogenic Hg control. Rainwater samples were collected from May 2014 to October 2018 in Chongming Island to understand the multi-year Hg wet deposition characteristics. The annual Hg wet deposition flux ranged from … Show more
“…Meanwhile, Tang et al [4] examined Hg wet deposition on Chongming Island, China, from 2014-2018 to understand Hg wet deposition characteristics over multiple years. Notably, this is a period that saw the implementation of the Minamata Convention and anthropogenic Hg emission controls that allowed evaluation of the effectiveness of those controls.…”
