“…7 In the Argentinian Andes, from March 2014 until July 2017, the mean GEM concentration was 0.86 ± 0.16 ng m 3 ; with the highest level in the austral spring (0.95 ± 0.13 ng m −3 ) and the lowest in the autumn (0.80 ± 0.15 ng m −3 ). 35 An average of 0.89 ± 0.01 ng m −3 measured at Chacaltaya, a high-altitude site in the Bolivian Andes in 2014/15 further lends support to atmospheric background levels of GEM being below 1 ng m −3 . 36 It is challenging to explain why the PAS-derived data should be too high by ∼30%, as those data passed all of the QA/QC criteria.…”

“…Monthly concentrations of GEM ranged from 3.50 to 4.47 ng m −3 in January and 1.56 to 2.65 ng m −3 in July during the whole study period, with mean values of 4.04 ± 1.01 ng m −3 and 2.29 ± 0.83 ng m −3 , respectively. The GEM concentrations in Xiamen were several times higher than the hemispheric background concentrations (∼ 1.5 ng m −3 ) (Sprovieri et al, 2016;Diéguez et al, 2019). Comparisons of TGM/GEM concentrations in Xiamen with other urban and rural areas in East Asia over the last decade are shown in Table 1.…”

“…CHC is relatively close (∼ 300 km distance) to the "Madre de Dios" watershed, a known ASGM hot spot (Beal et al, 2013;Diringer et al, 2015Diringer et al, , 2019. Apart from this prominent region, many other ASGM sites exist in the Bolivian, Peruvian, and Brazilian lowlands, but little exact information is available due to their intrinsically poorly documented and unregulated nature.…”
