“…To obtain total atmospheric loading, it is necessary to measure both wet and dry deposition (Golomb et al, 1997). The measurement of wet deposition is relatively straightforward; it involves the analysis of trace quantities of pollutants, often in concentrations of mgØl , in aqueous solution.…”

“…In this work, for direct measurements of such depositions, a layer of ultra pure water in a bucket served as a surrogate water surface. A similar method of dry deposition onto a surrogate water surface was used by Golomb et al (1997) and Morselli et al (1999). Such a device clearly avoids possible resuspension of aerosols, which have reached this water surface.…”

“…Generally, the concentration measurements of standard samples were within 10-20% of the nominal values. However, in atmospheric deposition measurement the major source of uncertainty is not the concentration measurement, but in the method of collecting deposition samples (Golomb et al, 1997). For wet deposition, there may be some loss of the fine rain drops (or light snow flakes), especially under wind conditions.…”

“…Since heavy metals present high toxicity and high lability in atmospheric fallout (Golomb et al, 1997), their monitoring is important both in urban and rural areas. The main objective of this work was to validate a weekly collection procedure, both in urban and rural sites, focussing mostly on the determination of total atmospheric deposition.…”

International audienceThe wet, dry and total atmospheric depositions of some metals (Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Na, Pb and Zn) were sampled at two sites and atmospheric fallout fluxes were determined for these locations. This work, led by two different research groups, allowed to reach two main goals: to define a simple analytical procedure to secure accurate shipboard sampling and analysis of atmospheric deposition, and to assess anthropogenic impacts of heavy metals to the environment. The first step about the validation step showed that the prevalent deposition type was dry deposition which represents 40, 60 and 80% for Cd, Cu and Pb, respectively. This prevalence of dry deposition in total atmospheric fallout supported the necessity of funnel wall rinsing which contains 30, 50 and 40% of collected Cd, Cu and Pb, respectively. Moreover, the reproducibility of atmospheric deposition collection was determined. The second step was performed by comparing two sampling sites. A rural sampling site, situated in Morvan's regional park (250 km south-east of Paris), was chosen for its isolation from any local and regional contamination sources. Fluxes obtained in this area were compared with those obtained at an urban site (Creteil, suburb of Paris) allowing comparison between urban and rural areas and demonstrating the impact of anthropogenic activities on atmospheric deposition of Cr, Cu and Pb

“…Atmospheric deposition rates of zinc for Lakes Superior, Erie, and Ontario were reported to be 3,310, 2,180, and 5,650 µg/m 2 /year, respectively (Nriagu et al 1996). Detection of zinc in rain waters confirms the importance of wet precipitation in the removal of zinc particles from the atmosphere (Aten et al 1983;Colin et al 1990;Dasch and Wolff 1989;Golomb et al 1997;Heaton et al 1990). Golomb et al (1997) measured the atmospheric deposition of zinc at Nahant, Massachusetts (near urban area of Boston) and at Truro, Massachusetts (on Cape Cod) for the years 1992-1993.…”

Der Name Kobalt geht auf den deutschen Begriff „Kobold“ zurück, weil frühe Bergleute durch den besonderen Glanz der Kobalterze verwirrt wurden. Kobalt wurde zwar bereits in der Antike zur Herstellung von blau gefärbten Keramikglasuren oder Gläsern verwendet, aber erst im Jahr 1735 durch den schwedischen Chemiker Georg Brandt als Element identifiziert und isoliert ( Schrauzer 1991; Smith und Paterson 1999).
