N2 - An inventory of mercury emissions originating from waste incineration in China, including municipal solid waste, rural household waste and agricultural waste, was calculated for the period of 2004-2010. During this period, mercury emissions from waste incineration increased at an average annual rate of 3.9%, and reached 16.6 t y -1 by the end of 2010. From 2004 to 2010, the mercury emissions from rural household waste incineration accounted for 46.6% of the total waste emissions, followed by agricultural waste (30.7%) and municipal solid waste (22.7%). However, the growth rate of mercury emissions was largest for municipal solid waste incineration, with an annual rate of 37.3%, while the emissions from rural household waste showed a negative growth rate (-5.8%). The mercury emissions from waste combustion is projected to be 18.6 t y -1 by 2015, with the contribution of municipal solid waste, rural household waste and agricultural waste being 46.4%, 27.1% and 26.5%, respectively.
