Mercury 2013 taking place from 28th July – 2nd August 2013 in Edinburgh, Scotland is the pre-eminent international forum for formal presentation and discussion of scientific advances concerning environmental Mercury.

The event has been themed ‘Science Informing Global Policy’ and will be the first event to be held after the United Nations Environment Program’s (UNEP) binding agreement on Mercury for which the objective is to protect human health and the environment from anthropogenic releases of mercury and its compounds. Conference sessions will include themes such as monitoring, environmental biogeochemistry, atmospheric transport and human exposure.

Mercury is a potential hazard for a wide variety of industries and delegates will include regulators, laboratory analysts, and visitors from sectors such as mining, coal, petrochemicals, cement, food, dentistry, waste incineration, environmental protection and contaminated land.
