Abstract

Estimated anthropogenic Hg emission was 11.9 tons in Pearl River Delta for 2014.

Quantifying contributions of emission sources helps to provide control strategies.

More attentions should be paid to Hg deposition around the large point sources.

Power plant, industrial source and waste incinerator were priorities for control.

A coordinated regional Hg emission control was important for controlling pollution.
