Abstract
A multimedia exposure assessment model for mercury was developed in this study. The model was aimed at evaluating transitional amounts of mercury through the atmosphere, soil, oceanic, and foodchain, and final exposure doses to human. By using the model, an exposure assessment for mercury emitted from a virtual large point source (10 kg/y) was conducted. The calculated exposure dose was 7.7×10-9 g/d that was 1/1, 000 or less of an average exposure dose for general population
