Fig. 1.
Mercury “source pool” (Gg y−1) from ref. (SI Appendix, Tables S1 and S11) showing the estimated upper limit of potential mercury emissions and releases, compared with emissions and releases estimate from ref. (Fig. 2A). Annual values from ref. from 1501 to 1811 assume equal source pool contributions across decades.
