A high spatial resolution dataset for anthropogenic atmospheric mercury emissions in China during 1998-2014

This database contains gridded atmospheric mercury emissions in 30 provinces of China by sectors from 1998 to 2014 at the resolution of 1 km×1 km. We distribute atmospheric mercury emissions in four sectors, i.e., agriculture, industry, service industry, and residences, based on China's land use data, enterprise data, road data, and population data. Gridded estimates of the total Hg (THg) and the three species, i.e., gaseous elemental Hg (Hg0), gaseous oxidized mercury (HgII), and particulate-bound mercury (Hgp), are given separately.
