Mercury in Dry Deposition

Dry deposition of mercury is a complex function of surface geomorphology, meteorology, surface wetness and sampling site characteristics.

Frontier GeoSciences' most recent advancement in measuring dry depostion was developed in collaboration with academic colleagues at the University of Nevada, Reno. This new method has  the following two major features:

• A surrogate surface method characterizes the dry deposition of Reactive gaseous mercury (RGM)
  
• Special membranes are deployed upside down using an aerodynamic sampler to minimize turbulent flow, solar radiation and deposition of rainwater and large particles

Frontier GeoSciences continues to develop new methods and sampling techniques for Dry Depostion of Mercury.
