EDGARv4.tox1 Emission Maps

The EDGARv4.tox1 is part of the Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR), which provides time-series of man-made emissions of greenhouse gases and short-lived atmospheric pollutants. The EDGARv4.tox1 contains emissions of total mercury and of the following mercury species: gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) (Hg0), gaseous oxidised mercury (GOM) (Hg2 +) and particle bound mercury (PBM) (Hg-P). This is an independent global mercury emissions inventory consistent across all world countries, which includes emissions from all key mercury emitting sources. Given the local-scale impacts of mercury, the emissions are gridded on 0.1 × 0.1 degree resolution maps using detailed proxy data.
