Atmospheric mercury speciation: concentrations and behavior of reactive gaseous mercury in ambient air
Article Abstract:
Water-soluble compounds of mercury present in flue gases, also called reactive gaseous mercury (RGM), exhibit seasonal characteristics comparable to other regional air pollutants. The seasonal characteristics of RGM are attributed to its high correlation with temperature, ozone, sulfur dioxide and total gaseous mercury. Analysis shows that RGM's concentrations tend to be higher during midday and lower during nightime. Episodes of rain also lessen the concentration of RGM in ambient air.

Predictive methods
Article Abstract:
Various thermodynamic and group contribution methods were evaluated for their accuracy to predict the solubility of selected polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners in water-alcohol mixtures. Data from 77 different systems containing PCBs, water and alcohol were employed. The results showed the phenomenological model to be the most reliable and accurate method.
