The papers from the Third International Mercury Conference published here provide information on mercury's behaviour in fresh water, marine environments, the atmosphere, the biosphere, and its effects on humans and wildlife. Risk assessments for mercury illustrate the detail needed for dealing with its complex environmental and biochemical behaviour. The book provides results from researchers who are using the most appropriate sampling and analytical procedures in a wide variety of environments. They present answers to questions about mercury's behaviour, representing a science that has begun to mature. Mercury requires the broad perspective that exemplifies global biogeochemistry.
