Humans have intentionally mined and released mercury (Hg) from the Earth's lithosphere over millennia. Here, we synthesize past, present, future anthropogenic Hg emissions releases use a global geochemical box model to characterize accumulation in atmosphere, land, ocean. We project an upper-bound for between 2010 2300 (Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP)5-8.5; 1.7 Tg) that surpasses historical total past half millennium (1.5 Tg). In contrast, lower-bound (SSP1-2.6; 0.7 is substantially smaller than total. Observational constraints on modeling suggest most land water prior remains sequestered at contaminated sites. Substantial oceanic enrichment by (270% ca. 2010) has been driven mainly atmospheric emissions. Cumulative are projected be approximately six-times greater primary atmosphere. This legacy waste pools unlikely impact pollution ocean unless it mobilized climate change. Modeling results 2100 concentrations may similar present levels if society follows SSP5-8.5. Declines surface (-19%) atmosphere (-45%) expected under SSP1-2.6, emphasizing benefits of reductions releases.
