Mercury in the Environment
Author: Michael S. Bank
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520951395
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Mercury pollution and contamination are widespread, well documented, and continue to pose a public health concern in both developed and developing countries. In response to a growing need for understanding the cycling of this ubiquitous pollutant, the science of mercury has grown rapidly to include the fields of biogeochemistry, economics, sociology, public health, decision sciences, physics, global change, and mathematics. Only recently have scientists begun to establish a holistic approach to studying mercury pollution that integrates chemistry, biology, and human health sciences. Mercury in the Environment follows the process of mercury cycling through the atmosphere, through terrestrial and aquatic food webs, and through human populations to develop a comprehensive perspective on this important environmental problem. This timely reference also provides recommendations on mercury remediation, risk communication, education, and monitoring.

ISBN:
Category : Mercury
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
This report is a comprehensive global assessment of mercury and mercury compounds undertaken by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) in cooperation with members of the Inter-Organization Program for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC). It covers recent authoritative reviews, deposition and transformation of mercury substances on a global scale, current production and use patterns of mercury as a global commodity, prevention and control technologies and practices, and future plans at the national, sub-regional or regional levels for controlling releases and limiting use and exposure. The report includes contributions from governments, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations and the private sector.
