Some of the emerging and compelling mercury issues that will be discussed at the 9th ICMGP
Energy production and mercury emissions
Sources, emissions and inventories
Energy production and mercury emissions (mercury and coal)
Life cycle analysis of mercury in coal, gas, oil, PVC productions and cement production
Pollution control and recovery
Clean technology
Mercury at the interfaces (air- snow; air-soil; air-water)
Climate change and mercury cycling
Mercury in aerosols and clouds
Atmospheric transport and deposition
Local, regional and global scale modeling
Mercury in polar regions
Mercury in urban areas (air and water)
Impacts of mining (gold mining, mercury mining; small scale mining)
Mercury in products (dental amalgams)
Assessment, management and remediation of contaminated sites
Health effects (synergy of mercury and other contaminants; Selenium and mercury; exposure assessment; Susceptibility and sensitivity)
Ecotoxicology of methylmercury (bio-monitoring)
Environmental monitoring and assessment
Advances in analytical chemistry
Environmental biogeochemistry
Bioaccumulation and trophic transfer
Fisheries (Fish, tissue testing, sources of fish, fish consumption advisory)
Mercury in aquatic systems (DOC, organic macro molecules)
Watershed processes
Societal and Socioeconomic effects of mercury pollution Environmental justice
Integration of science and policy
Risk communication and public education
Ecosystem sensitivities and human-wildlife vulnerability
