mercury emissions inventory

A mercury emissions inventory is a detailed record of how much mercury is released into the environment from various sources, such as factories, power plants, and natural events. It helps identify major contributors of mercury pollution, which is a toxic metal that can harm ecosystems and human health. By tracking these emissions, governments and organizations can develop strategies to reduce mercury release, protect public health, and comply with environmental regulations. Essentially, it’s a comprehensive accounting that supports efforts to minimize mercury's harmful impacts on our planet.
