  1. The fluxes of Hg emission sources are from Shah et al.4.
  2. aThe isotope signatures of anthropogenic emission are cited from Sun et al. 66,67.
  3. bΔ200Hg emission from soil is adopted from Sun et al. 67 and Wang et al. 68.
  4. cWe estimate the Δ200Hg emission from ocean is consistent with that in oceanic samples14.
  5. dΔ200Hg in biomass emission are compiled from refs. 21,25,28,69,70,71.
  6. eΔ200Hg in geogenic emission are adopted from volcanic emission reported by Sun et al. 66.
