Estimation of Gaseous Mercury Emissions in Germany

Fig. 3. The production site L66 of the BSL Werk Schkopau in 1994, four years after the closure of the
former Chemische Werke Buna. The hall dimensions are a length of 162 m, a width of 37 m and a
height 13 m
of total gaseous mercury in the surroundings of the BSL Werk Schkopau. It can
be summarized that outside the factory premises, the maximum concentrations
of higher than 500 ng/m3 were measured in downwind direction at a distance of
1000 m from the sources. In upwind direction, values close to the background
concentration for this region of 2 ng/m3 were measured (Ebinghaus et al. 1995,
Ebinghaus and Kruger 1996).
