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...
