An overview of mercury emission sources and application of activated carbon for mercury removal from flue gas / Hidayu Abdul Rani ... [et al.]

Mercury emission into the atmosphere is a global concern due to its detrimental effects on human health in general. The two main sources of mercury emission are natural sources and anthropogenic sources. Mercury emission from natural sources include volcanic activity, weathering of rocks, water move...
