Abstract
Air samples were collected isokinetically in the plume of a major coal-fired power plant during helicopter flights. The dominant form of mercury in the plume was elemental Hg vapor, ranging from 92 to 99% of the total Hg concentration in air. There was no evidence of significant gas to particle conversion during plume aging. The predominance of the vapor form is conducive to long-range transport and removal by precipitation scavenging.
