A new mechanism for atmospheric mercury redox chemistry: implications for the global mercury budget
Published in Atmospheric chemistry and physics (29-05-2017)“…Mercury (Hg) is emitted to the atmosphere mainly as volatile elemental Hg0. Oxidation to water-soluble HgII plays a major role in Hg deposition to ecosystems…”
