POTSDAM -- Cutting coal has reduced atmospheric mercury in the northeastern U.S., a study written at Clarkson University shows.
Decreased pollution from coal-fired power plants has led to a decline in the region’s atmospheric mercury since 2000.
Mercury concentrations in the air in the northeastern U.S. have fallen within the past two decades as a result of closing and regulating regional coal-fired power plants, a new study by Clarkson University researchers shows.
The study confirms that regional mercury concentrations are mainly affected by regional changes and are not overwhelmed by global mercury pollution, something researchers were not certain of before the study.
