Human exposure to monomethylmercury (CH
Abstract Mercury (Hg), a potent neurotoxin posing risks to human health, is cycled through vegetation uptake, which susceptible climate change impacts. However, the extent and pattern of these impacts are largely unknown, obstructing predictions Hg’s fate in terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we evaluate effects on elemental Hg [Hg(0)] uptake using state-of-the-art global model (CLM5-Hg) that incorporates plant physiology. In business-as-usual scenario, Hg(0) sink predicted decrease by 1870 Mg yr...
Many world rivers are currently polluted by mercury (Hg) compounds, leading to the bioaccumulation of methylmercury (MeHg) in food web, which poses potential health risks humans. However, riverine Hg budgets global scale remain poorly understood due limited observations, complicating efficient environmental governance. Here, we employ a process-driven model track its journey from sources ocean and assess human exposure. Our findings indicate that ~1,500 Mg/yr human-induced released plus ~400...
Abstract. Aerosols constitute important substance components of the Earth's atmosphere and have a profound influence on climate dynamics, radiative properties, biogeochemical processes. Here we develop updated emission schemes for dust, sea-salt, marine primary organic aerosols (MPOA) augment formation reactions secondary aerosol (SOA) by introducing parameterizations within Community Earth System Model (CESM; version 2.1.3). The modified scheme shifts original hotspot-like dust to more...
Abstract. Aerosols constitute important substance components of the Earth's atmosphere and have a profound influence on climate dynamics, radiative properties, biogeochemical processes. Here we introduce updated emission schemes for dust, sea-salt, marine primary organic aerosols (MPOA), as well augmented secondary aerosol (SOA) formation pathways within Community Earth System Model (CESM; version 2.1.3). The modified dust scheme shifts original hotspot-like to more continuous distribution,...
