Mercury emissions from human activity have been declining over the past two decades , despite global inventories that indicate otherwise.
Mercury is a potent neurotoxin that enters the atmosphere from sources like coal-fired power plants and small-scale gold mining.
A global treaty that aimed to cut mercury emissions was signed in 2013 and went into force in 2017 .
The research underscores the importance of long-term mercury monitoring stations.
Many stations the researchers evaluated are no longer operational because of a lack of funding.
One possibility is that global inventories are missing key information from certain countries.
In addition, it’s difficult to determine how long it takes the pollutant to be released into the atmosphere.
