Description
Summary:Total atmospheric fallout of: Pb, Cu, Cd, Be, Hg was determined in 3 large cities, some rural areas of Baden-Württemberg and cross-border eastern France. Deposition of the metals and their concentration in dried samples were evaluated and presented to study their spatial and temporal changes. Average deposition of metals in the large cities in autumn 1992 - spring 1993 period amounted to: Cu 22, Cd 0.32, Pb 24, Be 0.10, Hg 0.1 (ug d -1 m -2 ) with following concentrations: Cu 360, Cd 4.6, Pb 350, Be 1.4, Hg 1.8 (ppm in dry weight). Annual mean values for deposition of metals in the rural areas were: Cu 12, Cd 0.36, Pb 12, Be 0.096, Hg 0.08 (ug d -1 m -2 ). The amounts of dustfall, Pb and Cd deposition at all sampling sites were found to be several times lower than the corresponding German control regulations. The expected atmospheric transport of the metals from the Saar industrial region into the Baden-Württemberg area considered in this paper was found to be negligible.
