Lots of Monitoring Developments for Mercury
McIlvaine uncovered some surprises at EUEC. There are now over 500 sorbent systems for measuring mercury continuously. About 200 are permanent with conditioned shelters, etc. Suppliers are optimistic that the sorbent trap approach will continue to garner a significant share of the market for mercury compliance. There is also lots of conflicting information about whether sorbent traps do and should measure particulate mercury. One argument is that since particulate is being used to capture mercury, there is now a significant fraction of the mercury emissions in a particulate form. These issues will be continually probed in the Monitoring and Sampling Newsletter:

United States
While 2013 didn't exactly go out with a roar, it put in a solid showing. According to the advance report by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, real gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 3.2% in the fourth quarter. Against a 4.1% annual rise in the third, this marked the best back-to-back quarterly performance in nearly two years. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)

China
China's economy grew at a faster pace last year than the government's official target, even as Beijing sought to implement painful economic reforms.
Gross domestic product grew by 7.7% in 2013 over the previous year, according to China's National Bureau of Statistics, a performance that matched the median estimate of a CNN Money survey. Full-year expansion was supported by 7.7% growth in the final quarter of the year, beating the survey forecast of 7.6% by a whisker. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
Spain
While the rest of Spain's economy is either stagnant or in decline, a new report shows that the so-called submerged economy is booming and accounted for 24.6% of GDP in 2012, 6.8% higher than in 2008.
The report by Spain's Inland Revenue department titled The Cost of the Submerged Economy: Increased Fraud during the Crisis claims that the black economy is now worth €253bn (£208bn) – €60bn more than in 2008.
Meanwhile, figures released recently show that Spain's GDP rose by 0.3% in the last quarter of 2013, up from 0.1% in the third quarter. This represents the biggest rise in Spanish GDP since the beginning of 2008. (The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
