Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Mercury pollution is notoriously a top environmental priority on a global scale, and much effort has been devoted to understanding its biogeochemical cycle and processes of dispersion in the environment. While the main sources and transport mechanisms are reasonably well established, there are several aspects that await a better definition and understanding.

This Special Issue will collect a selection of recent studies that advance our knowledge on the subject. Any novel contribution will be considered, including reviews of specific topics, case studies, and implications for legislation and management.
