PMID: 30574731
Document Number: 17710
This article explores the benefits likely to arise from Australia's ratification of the Minamata Convention on Mercury with regard to reducing public health risks from mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. The current legislative frameworks regulating mercury pollution are critiqued, an exploration of the international approaches is undertaken, and recommendations are made aiming to produce a stronger, more stringent and long-term mercury protection policy for Australian communities.
