Abstract Information :
This short talk will address the growing need for mercury monitoring at utilities and industry in emerging Asia. As deadlines for compliance of the Minamata Convention roll nearer, signatory parties now have to monitor and control their emissions of mercury. Countries such as India and Indonesia have created new emission limits for mercury from utilities but are struggling to establish monitoring systems which will meet this need. A US State Department funded project plans to bring training and expertise to these regions over the next 2 years.
