Abstract—It reviewed global atmospheric mercury field
observations progress. Progress of atmospheric mercury
observations was divided into two parts. One is for atmospheric
mercury observations in region outside China including the
U.S., Canada, EU, Japan, UK, etc. Another is to introduce the
atmospheric mercury observations in China. Despite much
observations on atmospheric mercury been launched in China,
problems still exists. The observations sites are mainly
centralized in urban areas and the background observation is
much insufficient. The time for observations is relatively short
and there is few data on long-term continuous observations. The
data of the observations on total gaseous mercury is much while
the observation of speciated atmospheric mercury is in
deficiency.
Index Terms—Total gaseous mercury, gaseous elemental
mercury, reactive gaseous mercury, particulate mercury.
