Development and Optimization of Mercury Emission Control Strategies Using Advanced Modeling Approaches
大气汞污染模拟研究进展及控制策略优化方法

Atmospheric mercury models are an ideal assessment tool that can be used to simulate the emissions,transformation,deposition,and the trans-boundary transport of mercury.Researches related to the atmospheric mercury modeling were reviewed.It is found that research in the modeling of mercury transport and its control are insufficient in China,which would undermines the formulation of mercury pollution control policy and the resolution of environmental disputes for mercury.It is suggested that more research in atmospheric mercury modeling and its emission control policy should be systematically carried out in China.The research context should include mercury emission estimate,long-range transport,response surface modeling-Hg(RSM-Hg) development,and emission control strategy optimization.The approaches of optimizing emission control strategies were discussed.The process of building the Response Surface Model between mercury emission and atmospheric mercury pollution was illustrated.The research of mercury emission control strategies will be aimed to improving our understanding in mercury fate and transport as well as the state of mercury pollution,and to providing the scientific basis for mercury emission control in China.
