Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The journal Atmosphere plans to publish a Special Issue on atmospheric mercury for the 16th International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant (ICMGP 2024) held from 21 to 26 July 2024 in Cape Town, South Africa (https://www.mercurycapetown.com/). The topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) measurement and modeling studies that address atmospheric mercury cycling questions at local, regional, and global scales; (2) process-orientated studies that address atmospheric mercury transformation and surface–atmospheric mercury exchange; and (3) mercury emissions to the atmosphere from natural and anthropogenic sources.
