It is unclear if recent policies and regulations regarding mercury emissions have resulted in significant declines in atmospheric mercury concentration and deposition into North American ecosystems. Regional and national deposition patterns are influenced by physical processes but also differing rates of mercury emissions partially due to variations in regulation. This book examines long-term trends in mercury deposition data collected by the North American Deposition Program (Mercury Deposition Network). Specifically, 16 sites across North America were analysed for spatial trends...
