Researchers have figured out how to accurately identify global mercury trade data inconsistencies.
An international team of researchers has developed a new method for examining global mercury trade data inconsistencies based on estimating and comparing the mercury input ofIn detail, the group investigated the effects of the Minamata Convention on global mercury flows.Launched in 2017, the Minamata Convention aims to restrict and limit the trading of mercury, which is considered a highly toxic pollutant.
While most countries involved in artisanal and small-scale gold mining – the biggest source of mercury pollution – are MC parties, its efficacy has remained unclear. To look at this issue in depth, researchers from Japan, Chile and Canada came together and created a method for examining global Hg trade data inconsistencies, which is based on estimating the Hg input, that is, the mercury that enters the amalgamation process and is lost with tailings and amalgam burning, of countries with ASGM activities and comparing this input amount to the total Hg available domestically.
The paper also shows that Asian countries lagged behind other regions concerning the reduction in Hg trade. While some downturn in Hg export was observed, new import flows of commodities with high Hg content were found to have emerged since 2017.
