Global Mercury Assessment 2013: Sources, Emissions, Releases and Environmental Transport
United Nations Environment Programme
United Nations Environment Programme
This report provides the most recent information available on worldwide atmospheric mercury emissions, releases to the aquatic environment, and the transport and fate of mercury in the global environment. It emphasizes emissions to air from human (anthropogenic) activities, but includes releases to water because the aquatic environment is the main route of exposure to humans and wildlife. It is in aquatic systems that the inorganic mercury is transformed into the more toxic form, methylmercury, which can accumulate in fish and marine mammals consumed by humans.

Resource Efficiency: Economics and Outlook for China Sftpvsdf!Fggjdjfodz;!! Fdpopnjdt!boe! Pvumppl!gps!Dijob
United Nations Environment Programme
This report provides detailed data and analysis, specific to China, following a regional report published by UNEP in 2011 on Asia and the Pacific. It can be thought of as a single country focus version of the regional report, and therefore the structure is broadly similar. For most sections the base data used is simply the China specific data assembled for the production of the 2011 report, and covers the same time period of 1970 to 2005. The exception is the material flows data, which has been significantly updated and revised. In addition, the time series for material flows data has been extended to cover 1970 to 2008 in this publication.

It uses state-of-the-art space borne and aerial images, maps, graphics, and photographs along with informative narratives to highlight natural and human-caused landscape changes in the 22 League of Arab States member countries. Earth observation technologies, which include airborne and satellite sensing systems, play important roles in the assessment and management of natural resources. The hundreds of compelling images in this atlas clearly depict landscape-level changes over time and highlight the challenges facing the region.
