Název: From chemistry to culture: the need for an integrated approach to mercury research and policy making.
Autoři: Schneider, Larissa, Guerrero, Saul
Zdroj: Environmental Chemistry (14482517); 2024, Vol. 21 Issue 7, p1-4, 4p
Témata: POLLUTION management, BIOGEOCHEMICAL cycles, MERCURY (Element), PUBLIC administration, CINNABAR
Abstrakt: This paper highlights the need for an integrated approach to mercury (Hg) research, examining its extensive anthropogenic use and lingering impact on ecosystems. From ancient cinnabar pigments to industrial-scale applications, mercury's unique properties have driven diverse uses with significant environmental consequences. Legacy Hg within the global biogeochemical cycle emphasises the importance of investigating its historical uses and emissions alongside their modern implications. By bridging chemistry, history and policy, this work advocates for multidisciplinary strategies to mitigate Hg pollution and develop sustainable approaches for managing its global impact. Environmental context: Mercury (Hg) has been extensively used throughout human history, leaving a persistent environmental legacy that continues to present challenges for pollution management and public health. This highlight focuses on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to enhance our knowledge of mercury's historical uses and emissions, supporting more effective strategies to address its environmental and societal impacts.
