A Method of Bulk Sampling Wet and Dry Atmospheric Deposition for Trace Element Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Collecting rain for trace elemental analyses can be a difficult task. In Australia, most sampling of atmospheric deposition so far has been concerned with gauging the major element chemistry of atmospheric deposition to the Australian continent. Very little work has been conducted on the trace element chemistry of atmospheric deposition in the Australian landscape and, therefore, collector designs have not addressed trace element contamination. To counter this a collector has been designed to sample atmospheric deposition for trace element analysis. The design is presented here.

Estimation of wet, dry and bulk deposition of atmospheric nitrogen in Connecticut.
Atmospheric nitrogen species including NO3-, NH4+ and total nitrogen in air and precipitation samples were collected with low-volume filter packs and wet deposition collectors from March 1999 through the end of December 2000 in seven sampling locations in Connecticut. Three sampling locations were chosen along the shores of Long Island Sound and four were chosen in interior sections of Connecti...
متن کاملContribution of trace metals from atmospheric deposition to stormwater runoff in a small impervious urban catchment.
The contribution of atmospheric deposition to emissions of trace metals in stormwater runoff was investigated by quantifying wet and dry deposition fluxes and stormwater discharges within a small, highly impervious urban catchment in Los Angeles. At the beginning of the dry season in spring 2003, dry deposition measurements of chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc were made monthly for 1 yea...

Atmospheric deposition is considered to be a major process that removes pollutants from the atmosphere and an important source of nutrients and contaminants for ecosystems. Trace elements (TEs), especially toxic metals deposited on plants and into soil or water, can cause substantial damage to the environment and human health due to their transfer and accumulation in food chains. Despite public...

متن کاملAtmospheric deposition on Swiss Long-Term Forest Ecosystem Research (LWF) plots.
Atmospheric deposition of the major elements was estimated from throughfall and bulk deposition measurements on 13 plots of the Swiss Long-Term Forest Ecosystem Research (LWF) between 1995 and 2001. Independent estimates of the wet and dry deposition of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) on these same plots were gained from combined simplified models. The highest deposition fluxes were measured at Nov...
