Direct observations of atmospheric oxidized mercury speciation in polar areas
and HOHgBr as dominant oxidized forms. Our results show that real-time molecular measurements can substantially advance global mercury monitoring and improve the chemical models used to assess environmental policies and predict deposition patterns.
