Complete combustion of organic soil (4,039 t) on the burned area caused volatilization of 1.34 +- 0.07 kg of Hg. Thus Hg emissions due to fire amounted to 75.1 g ha-1. The average burned forested areas in CR for the period 2000–2006 were reported at 356 ha with estimated Hg emissions at 26.7 kg year-1, while the average anthropogenic emissions in the same period amounted to 3 t year-1. Thus estimated mean emissions of Hg from burned forest soil in the period 2000–2006 reached 1% of the annual anthropogenic Hg emissions.
