Mercury emissions and stability in the Amazon region.

Center for Air Toxic metals newsletter. Includes some information on mercury workshops.

This book is often referred to as the "purple bible" and consists of the proceedings of the "Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant" held in Whistler BC in 1994. It’s big, it’s heavy, the print is small and the paper is thin. But it’s the quickest way to learn a lot about mercury.
