UNEP Global Partnership for Mercury Air Transport and Fate Research: U UNEP Global Partnership for Mercury Air Transport and Fate Research: U.S. Contributions Stanley Durkee Office of Research and Development U.S. Environmental Protection Agency October 10, 2007

U.S. Contributions USEPA U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Department of Energy Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)

U.S. Contributions to This Partnership – Data from Mauna Loa USEPA will continue taking speciated measurements of atmospheric mercury (together with particulate matter and other criteria pollutants) at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s high altitude station at Mauna Loa, Hawaii To better understand transformation and fate of globally cycling mercury Provide support to accumulate a long-term record of various mercury species Data obtained to be shared, at intervals deemed appropriate; notice of availability to be posted on the UNEP web site 1.Therefore, EPA’s major contribution for now will involve continuing taking speciated measurements at Mauna Loa, Hawaii for two more years. . 2. The specific objectives are to provide support to accumulate a long-term record of ambient mercury of various species to Support atmospheric mercury chemistry research Investigate reaction mechanisms for the oxidation of elemental mercury to RGM in the marine free troposphere Evaluate formation mechanisms of particulate mercury Establish a global baseline mercury measurement station 3. EPA has already taken measurements over a 5-year period at Mauna Loa and our contribution extends the data collection to two more years.

Mauna Loa Observatory Mauna Loa is run by NOAA and marked its 51st anniversary. It was originally dedicated (1956) as a site to measure solar radiation and trace gases that could change earth’s climate. It is best known for its record of the continuous rise of carbon dioxide in earth’s atmosphere, measurements originated by the late Dr Charles Keeling. MLO measures over 50 chemical species in the atmosphere.

Examples of Other U.S. Contributions USGS will share its World Quality Inventory Database (2800 samples, 80 countries). Results for 7500 U.S. coal samples available. NOAA will share data from three long-term monitoring stations within the U.S.; provide meteorological data through the READY web based information system; and make available various models for computing atmospheric trajectories and dispersion.

Examples of Other U.S. Contributions – Continued USDOE will share its air sampling and air monitoring methodologies. USDOE’s National Environmental Technology Laboratory (NETL) will maintain its ongoing partnership with the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and Zhejiang University, which includes developing emission factors for power plants. Communication links to be maintained with Italian Suzhou project

Examples of U.S. Contributions to This Partnership – Continued Electric Power Research Institute Will expand its high altitude monitoring program to better understand transboundary transport, using measurements taken at Mount Bachelor, Oregon, and from aircraft studies. Will continue global monitoring studies and MDN support.

U.S. Contributions to This Partnership – Continued USEPA will participate in additional monitoring, source receptor modeling and training activities as circumstances and resources permit USEPA will participate in various meetings among Global Partnership partners that would be facilitated by Italy (the lead country) and contribute to various reports under the Partnership At Italy’s request, USEPA will arrange teleconferences among Global Partners
