Unintentional emission sectors: Coal burning, ferrous- and non-ferrous (Au, Cu, Hg, Pb, Zn) metal production, cement production. UNEP produced its first Global Mercury Assessment in 2002 and a subsequent study in 2007. These global percentages will, of course, vary on a regional basis. Source: UNEP. Click to enlarge.
