Low-Level RGM and PHg Emissions results

in faster local removal by Dry Deposition?

Pacyna et al.- 2003 LRT Workshop

Eric Prestbo Ph.D. ([email protected])

Why are RGM values lower than models and uncorrelated with pollution

compounds?

Hypothesis – RGM from anthropogenic emissions are preferentially reduced to Hg0 via the complex chemistry of S02 > S03 > S04 during cloud droplet formation and evaporation

Future Data Interpretation

• More refined analysis of each event with respect to AMS and meteorology

• Support hypothesis that SO3 is preferentially converting emitted Hg(II) to Hg0 during cloud water processing (formation/evaporation)

• Rule out local impacts

Eric Prestbo Ph.D. ([email protected])

Future: Need Hg Deposition Data!

• Inventories coupled to models predict high deposition in NW Pacific due to RGM and PHg emissions

• Measurements needed to confirm at HEDO and elsewhere

• Should be event based – at least for intensive study periods

• What Hg deposition data is currently being collected or published?

Eric Prestbo Ph.D. ([email protected])

Continuous Mercury Speciation at HEDO

• Depending on support-level we can do complete Automated Hg speciation system – or only total gaseous Hg with select intensive studies
