摘要

As the Third Pole of the world, the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is sensitive to anthropogenic influences. Biomass combustion is one of the most important anthropogenic sources of mercury (Hg) emissions in the TP. However, due to the lack of knowledge about Hg emission characteristics and activity levels in the plateau, atmospheric Hg emissions from biomass combustion in the TP are under large uncertainties. Here, based on pilot-scale experiments, we found that particle-bound mercury (PBM; mean of 83.1???87.7 ng/m3) occupied 17.93??? 49.31% of the total emitted Hg and the PBM ??202Hg values (average ???1.65%0 to ???0.77%0) were significantly higher than those of the corresponding feeding biomass. The ??200Hg values of total gaseous mercury and PBM were more negative (???0.08%0 to ???0.05%0) than other anthropogenic emissions, providing unique isotopic fingerprints for this sector. Together with the investigated local activity levels, Hg emissions from biomass combustion reached 402 ?? 74 kg/a, which were dozens of times higher than previous estimates. The emissions were characterized by conspicuous spatial heterogeneity, concentrated in the northern and central TP. Specialized Hg emissions and the Hg isotope fingerprint of local biomass combustion can aid in evaluating the influence of this sector on the fragile ecosystems of the TP.
