Photoreduction and origin of dissolved and particulate mercury in cloud water: Insights from stable mercury isotopes.

The photoreduction of mercury (Hg) in clouds is crucial for determining global Hg cycling. The recently-developed isotope approach provides new insight into the fate of atmospheric Hg, however, limited data have been reported on the dynamics of Hg isotopes in clouds. This study presented the isotopic compositions of dissolved mercury (DHg) and particulate mercury (PHg) in cloud water collected at Mt. Tai (1545 m a.s.l.) in eastern China during summer 2021. Both DHg and PHg exhibited positive mass-independent fractionation of odd isotopes (odd-MIF, denoted as Δ
