“…Furthermore, the presence of higher metal content in upper layers of the sediment core suggests that this lagoon may also have been affected by recent anthropogenic sources of trace metals. Atmospheric deposition, especially from industrial areas, can be an important source of metal contamination in coastal areas in Southeast of Brazil (Lacerda et al 2002;Lacerda and Ribeiro 2004). As there are no other industrial or urban sources in the vicinity, it may have been possible that the prevailing NE winds have transported metals released by the induration furnaces from the pelletizing plant to Guanabara Lagoon, which was previously assumed to be an undisturbed reference location.…”

“…Hg ¼ 15e30 mg m À2 yr À1 ) reflect emissions from industrial sources (Lacerda and Ribeiro, 2004). In Ilha Grande (Great Island), zinc enrichment in the top layers of marsh sediments (rate of deposition ¼ 24e78 mg m À2 yr À1 ) was also attributed to atmospheric deposition (Silva-Filho et al, 1998).…”
