Comparison of Hg emissions in 2005 and 2010, by selected sector and region. Intentional-use sectors: Disposal and incineration of product waste, cremation emissions, chlor-alkali industry. Reducing current anthropogenic sources is therefore vital to reduce the amount of mercury that is cycling in the environment. Source: UNEP.
