Abstract
South African Highveld concentrations of outdoor Total Gaseous Mercury
Highlights
Coal-fired power plants, the foremost source of total gaseous mercury (TGM), appeared to have little to no effect on measured concentrations
We evaluated concentrations of the pollutant at three characteristically different sites (Balfour, Middelburg, and Standerton)
Datasets spanning 2009–2013 for each site were obtained from the Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, and Land and Environmental Affairs
Summary
Coal-fired power plants, the foremost source of TGM, appeared to have little to no effect on measured concentrations. We evaluated concentrations of the pollutant at three characteristically different sites (Balfour, Middelburg, and Standerton).
