Reducing Mercury Emission Uncertainty from Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining Using Bootstrap Confidence Intervals: An Assessment of Emission Reduction Scenarios

Reducing Mercury Emission Uncertainty from Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining Using Bootstrap Confidence Intervals: An Assessment of Emission Reduction Scenarios

Atmospheric mercury emission scenarios from artisanal and small-scale gold mining for 56 tropical and subtropical countries have been elaborated and assessed for their comparative significance. A multi-step quantitative method that yields narrow and robust confidence intervals for mercury emission e...
