Project Summary The proposed workshop, “Mercury as a Global Pollutant”, will provide a forum for sharing and summarizing data, enhancing communication among researchers, managers and policymakers, informing goals and mandates of the Superfund Research Program and the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences, and synthesizing, interpreting and translating scientific findings that relate to policy questions pertaining to mercury fate and transport and human exposure and health effects. The workshop and production of the synthesis papers are optimally timed to coincide with the implementation of the Minamata Convention which came into force in 2017 and has now been ratified by 129 countries. The Dartmouth Superfund Research Program (SRP) Center, in collaboration with the Executive Committee (EC) of the 15th International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant (ICMGP) 2022, is convening a team of academic and government scientists and policy makers to work together over a one year period to publish a group of four synthesis papers related to mercury and its effects on environmental health and human health, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, and the global implications of climate change on mercury fate and effects in the environment. The synthesis workshop will convene these synthesis paper teams from the US and 18 other countries for a one day workshop to be held in Cape Town South Africa prior to the start of the ICMGP 2022. The workshop will provide the opportunity for synthesis teams to report out on their findings and receive feedback from other mercury scientists, policy-makers, and stakeholders. Following the workshop, the synthesis papers will be revised and submitted to the journal, Ambio, and 2-page summaries of each paper will be produced for distribution at the 5th Conference of Parties of the Minamata Convention. The workshop will be a forum for discussing the science needed to inform policy decisions that are being made to implement the the Minamata Convention in order to reduce global mercury pollution over the coming decades.
