Great temporal variabilityies &Large heterogeneous spatial distributions
of sources & sinks
Distinctly different spatiotemporal variations of Hg0, RGM, and Hgp in various environments:
• Marine boundary layer• Land: urban, suburban, rural, remote• High elevation, high altitudes• Latitudinal variation

Need to Know:
• Global distribution of Hg0, RGM, and HgP
• The processes controlling spatiotemporal variabilities in speciated Hg in different environments
• Long term trends in Hg0 – causes?
