The Minamata Convention on Mercury (MC) includes provisions for a global monitoring program (GMP) and effectiveness evaluation (EE) to provide information on changes in mercury sources in various environmental media. While conventional measurement and modeling techniques have limitations in explaining the changes in mercury concentrations, the meas...

Mercury contamination in soil, water and air is associated with potential toxicity to humans and ecosystems. Industrial activities such as coal combustion have led to increased mercury (Hg) concentrations in different environmental media. This review critically evaluates recent developments in technological approaches for the remediation of Hg cont...
Mercury (Hg) is a potentially harmful trace element in the environment and one of the World Health Organization's foremost chemicals of concern. The threat posed by Hg contaminated soils to humans is pervasive, with an estimated 86 Gg of anthropogenic Hg pollution accumulated in surface soils worldwide. This review critically examines both recent a...
Manganese oxide loaded on activated carbon (Mn/AC) was synthesized using an impregnation method, and its capacity for Hg-0 removal in simulated flue gas was investigated at 120 degrees C. The Hg-0 removal performance was significantly enhanced by manganese oxide. The effects of the Mn loading on Hg-0 removal were evaluated. X-ray diffraction (XRD)...
