An analysis of total gaseous mercury (TGM) concentrations across the UK from a rural sampling network.
Total gaseous mercury was collected at ten sites, which comprise part of the UK rural heavy metals monitoring network, between 2005 and 2008. Using the gold amalgam technique to capture total gaseous mercury, samples were analysed using a Tekran 2537A mercury vapour analyser. The data showed no upward or downward trend in atmospheric mercury concentrations over the period, with 4 year average c...
متن کاملTemporal Variability of Atmospheric Total Gaseous Mercury in Windsor, ON, Canada
Atmospheric Total Gaseous Mercury (TGM) concentrations were monitored in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, during 2007 to 2011, to investigate the temporal variability of TGM. Over five years, the average concentration was 2.0 ± 1.3 ng/m. A gradual decrease in annual TGM concentrations from 2.0 ng/m in year 2007 to 1.7 ng/m in 2009 was observed. The seasonal means show the highest TGM concentrations du...
متن کاملAtmospheric mercury in Changbai Mountain area, northeastern China I. The seasonal distribution pattern of total gaseous mercury and its potential sources.
An intensive field campaign for the measurement of total gaseous mercury (TGM) concentrations in ambient air was conducted in Changbai Mountain area from 5 August 2005 to 5 July 2006 using an automatic atmospheric mercury analyzer (Tekran 2537A), which was the first time TGM was monitored at a remote area in northeastern China. 99% of the hourly TGM concentrations fell between 1.28 and 9.49ngm(...
متن کاملMercury Concentrations over the Baltic Sea
Mercury is a toxic pollutant emitted from both natural sources and through human 7 activities. A global interest in atmospheric mercury has risen ever since the discovery of the 8 Minamata disease in 1956. Properties of gaseous elemental mercury enable long range transport 9 which can cause pollution even in pristine environments. Total gaseous mercury (TGM) was 10 measured from winter 2016 to ...
متن کاملA Relaxed Eddy Accumulation System for Measuring Surface Fluxes of Total Gaseous Mercury
A relaxed eddy accumulation (REA) system was designed to continuously measure total gaseous mercury (TGM) fluxes over a forest canopy. TGM concentration measurements were measured at 5-min intervals with a Tekran model 2537A mercury analyzer located above the forest canopy on a walk-up meteorological tower. Ten-minute averages for upand downdraft mercury concentrations were used to calculate th...
