A FEW KEY POINTS: RESEARCH FINDINGS and

Based on other research findings, global emissions from biomass burning ‘ Have been estimated at 800 tons per year. This is about 25% of all anthropogenic sources. Based on W/F study and emission estimates, US fires would contribute between 2% and 6% of the global total Hg from biomass burning (or 15 to 45 tons per year of the 800). ................
