Overview:
===============================================================================

This directory contains Hg emissions from the EDGARv4tox2 inventory, described 
in Muntean et al. (2018), prepared for use with GEOS-Chem by Amanda Giang. 
These emissions are used by the GEOS-Chem mercury simulation.

The emissions files are available disaggregated by sector (described below), or as
all-sector totals. The totals files should not be used in combination with the 
individual sectors.
