Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative assessment of worldwide contamination of air, water and soils by trace metals
Jerome O. Nriagu,Jozef M. Pacyna +1 more
TL;DR: Calculated loading rates of trace metals into the three environmental compartments demonstrate that human activities now have major impacts on the global and regional cycles of most of the trace elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
An assessment of global and regional emissions of trace metals to the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources worldwide
TL;DR: The results of this work conclude that stationary fossil fuel combustion continues to be the major source of Cr, Hg, Mn, Sb, Se, Sn, and Tl with respect to the coal combustion and the major sources of Ni and V withrespect to oil combustion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global anthropogenic mercury emission inventory for 2000
TL;DR: Wilson et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a new inventory of global emissions of mercury to the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources for the year 2000, showing that the largest emissions of Hg to the global atmosphere occur from combustion of fossil fuels, mainly coal in utility, industrial, and residential boilers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global emission of mercury to the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources in 2005 and projections to 2020
Elisabeth G. Pacyna,Jozef M. Pacyna,Kyrre Sundseth,John Munthe,Karin Kindbom,Simon Wilson,Frits Steenhuisen,P. Maxson +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the 2005 global inventory of anthropogenic emissions to the atmosphere component of the work that was prepared by UNEP and AMAP as a contribution to the UNEP report Global Atmospheric Mercury Assessment: Sources, Emissions and Transport (UNEP Chemicals Branch, 2008 ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a global historical emission inventory for selected PCB congeners--a mass balance approach. 1. Global production and consumption.
TL;DR: The methodology, principal uncertainties and selected results from an inventory, aiming to quantify the global production and consumption of total PCBs as well as 22 PCB congeners are presented, suggest that almost 97% of the global historical use of PCBs have occurred in the Northern Hemisphere.
