During the research, scientists find out that the total mercury content in tigers’ fur is higher in coastal area comparing to inland. The similar mercury distribution was found in lichens. Authors consider several possible reasons for mercury accumulation in coastal tigers population: such as dietary (difference in fish consumption), ...
Our specialist made a presentation on mercury occurrence in shungite and coal. The presentation was delivered at the session “Mercury cycling in the environment – sources, processes, impacts, and archives from local to global scales”. Total mercury and mercury thermospeciation in coal and ...
HBM is included into the UNEP/WHO global observation system for mercury (GOS4M) in support of the Minamata Convention. Elevated mercury concentrations can be found in food, water and air. Also, such cosmetic products as skin lightening soaps and creams, makeup cleansing products, and mascara can contain Hg concentrations above the safe limits. Another ...
Mercury (Hg) is a naturally occurring chemical element that can be found in air, water and soil. ...
Over the past 20 years, Axetris has grown to five business lines, serving customers worldwide with micro-optical elements, infrared sources, mass flow meters and controllers, laser gas detection modules, and MEMS manufacturing services. ...
“This announcement means that, at last, monitoring technology is available that will enable effective regulations to be implemented in the fight against global mercury pollution.” The Gasmet CMM has successfully completed EN15267-3 testing using CVAF (Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence) technology for the analysis of Mercury. ...
Looking forward, Rami Vuorinen, Chief Technology Officer at Gasmet, says: “Now that proven technology is available for continuous mercury monitoring at low levels, the operators of combustion plants have an opportunity to implement control measures and demonstrate effective mercury emissions control. ...
Gasmet Technologies is delighted to announce that its Continuous Mercury Monitoring system (CMM) has successfully completed the EN15267-3 testing using CVAF technology for the analysis of Mercury (Hg). ...
Specialists of Lumex Instruments took part in seminar dedicated to the control of environmental pollution by mercury. This event was held on 3rd of April in Vietnam, that had signed the Minamata Convention in 2013. ...

Two events – Energy Efficiency & Emissions workshop and 12th annual Mercury Emissions from Coal workshop – were organized by IEA Clean Coal Centre. ...
The afternoon sessions will begin with a presentation on a technology which combines gravimetric PM measurement with real-time diffusion charging and current measurement for indoor, outdoor and combustion source measurement. Mercury monitoring and calibration will then be discussed by a number of speakers, including experiences from the United States in relation ...
MercuRemoval, developer of gas treatment solutions, recently announced successful results of a trial in which its technology demonstrated dramatically high efficiency in removing mercury from flue gas emission, with mercury absorption and removal rate reaching 98%. ...
The Great Lakes Protection Fund and American Water Works Association are excited to announce the launch of the Water Utility Energy Challenge (WUEC), an innovative program which engages water operators in a competition to reduce the emissions sourced in their energy generation. The competition is aimed at connecting the utilities with new innovative software while fostering an ...
As an example, the O342e is the 1st ozone analyzer on the market which does not use Mercury lamp as excitation source. The e-Series is fully compliant with Ecodesign and ROHS directives. ...

Researchers found there's more mercury from human sources - mostly burning fossil fuels and mining for gold - than scientists had thought. ...
The amendment passed by the House prevents the EPA from regulating under Section 111(d) any industrial source that was already regulated under Section 112. The Senate amendment only prevents the EPA from regulating the pollutants listed under Section 112(b) under Section 111(d) rather than limiting the agency's authority to regulate industrial sources. Cites ...
