Recalculations - Mercury (Hg)

The marginally small changes within the National Total reported for 1990 (+0.016 t or +0.05 %) result almost entirely from newly implemented emission estimates in NFRs 1.B.2.a.i and 1.B.2.b. The re-allocation of emissions within NFR 1.A.3.b has no effect on the National Totals.

The most significant percental change occurs for NFR 1.A.3.b. ii with plus 25 %.

The changes within the National Total reported for 2020 (-0.29 t or -4.60 %) is dominated by revisions in NFRs 1.A.1.a (-0.37 t or 12 %) and 2.A.1 (+0.11 t or +20 %) together with several changes throughout NFRs 1 and 2.

The significant percental change occuring in NFR 1.A.3.b iii results from a data error that will be corrected with the next annual submission.
