The flux of anthropogenic trace metals into the arctic from the mid-latitudes in 1979/80
The flux of trace metals into the Arctic atmosphere between 0 and 3.5 km altitude for the period July 1979-June 1980 was determined using a chemical transport modeling approach used previously for sulfur. The total annual flux of antimony, arsenic, cadmium, lead, zinc and vanadium into the Arctic fr...

The flux of trace metals into the Arctic atmosphere between 0 and 3.5 km altitude for the period July 1979-June 1980 was determined using a chemical transport modeling approach used previously for sulfur. The total annual flux of antimony, arsenic, cadmium, lead, zinc and vanadium into the Arctic from Eurasia was 4, 285, 47, 2400, 1350 and 474 tonnes, respectively.
