| Global Mercury Trade and Possible Control Parameters for Mercury Use and Emissions | | S-SC-5 | | Combined Oral and Poster | | Mercury is freely traded in most countries and the globally dominating end users are small-scale gold miners, where poor control of emissions causes damages to health and environment.
