The STOTEN VSI on Hg
This Special Issue focuses on discussion of advances in technology, measurements, and understanding of the biogeochemical cycle of the element mercury. The Minamata Convention on Mercury has come into force and mercury science and knowledge regarding measurement methods and the general biogeochemical cycle has advanced. This collection of papers provides many insights with respect to our current understanding and recent paradigm shifts, and points to research that is still needed.
