%X reasonable agreement with the estimated anthropogenic total mercury emissions of 250 t/yr in 1995. However, the measurements encompass almost exclusively elemental mercury whose anthropogenic emissions are estimated to be only 152 t yr1. Several hypotheses are proposed to explain this discrepancy, such as natural sources, underestimation of the emissions of elementary mercury, and erroneous speciation of anthropogenic emissions.
