Assessment of exposure to mercury from industrial emissions: comparing "distance as a proxy" and dispersion modelling approaches.
BACKGROUND The Runcorn area, north-west England, contains many pollution sources, the health effects of which have been under discussion for over 100 years. Preliminary investigations revealed an excess risk of mortality from kidney disease in people living nearest to several point sources of pollution, using distance as a proxy for exposure. Ongoing epidemiological investigations into the effe...
متن کاملMercury emission and dispersion models from soils contaminated by cinnabar mining and metallurgy.
The laboratory flux measurement system (LFMS) and dispersion models were used to investigate the kinetics of mercury emission flux (MEF) from contaminated soils. Representative soil samples with respect to total Hg concentration (26-9770 μg g(-1)) surrounding a decommissioned mercury-mining area (Las Cuevas Mine), and a former mercury smelter (Cerco Metalúrgico de Almadenejos), in the Almadén m...
متن کاملAirborne observations of mercury emissions from the Chicago/Gary urban/industrial area during the 2013 NOMADSS campaign
Atmospheric emissions from the Chicago/Gary urban/industrial area significantly enhance ambient mercury (Hg) concentrations and lead to increased levels of atmospheric Hg deposition within the Lake Michigan Basin. We use airborne observations collected over Lake Michigan during the 2013 Nitrogen, Oxidants, Mercury, and Aerosol Distributions, Sources, and Sinks (NOMADSS) campaign to quantify the...
متن کاملPatterns of mercury dispersion from local and regional emission sources, rural Central Wisconsin, USA
Simultaneous real-time changes in mercury (Hg) speciationreactive gaseous Hg (RGM), elemental Hg (Hg), and fine particulate Hg (Hg-PM2.5), were determined from June to November, 2007, in ambient air at three locations in rural Central Wisconsin. Known Hg emission sources within the airshed of the monitoring sites include: 1) a 1114 megawatt (MW) coal-fired electric utility generating station; 2...
