Post industrial revolution changes in large scale atmospheric pollution of the northern hemisphere for heavy metals as documented in central Greenland snow and ice
International audience Pb, Zn, Cd and Cu have been measured using ultraclean procedures in various sections of a 70.3-m snow/ice core coveting the past 220 years (including the Industrial Revolution) drilled at Summit, central Greenland. These time series are the first reliable ones ever published f...

International audience Pb, Zn, Cd and Cu have been measured using ultraclean procedures in various sections of a 70.3-m snow/ice core coveting the past 220 years (including the Industrial Revolution) drilled at Summit, central Greenland. These time series are the first reliable ones ever published for Zn, Cd, and Cu; for Pb they are the first verification of the pioneering data published more than two decades ago by C. Patterson and his coworkers [Murozumi et al., 1969]. For all four heavy metals, concentrations are found to have markedly increased up until the 1960s and 1970s before decreasing significantly during the following few decades. The timing and the amplitude of the observed changes differ significantly however from one metal to another. Comparison with concentration values obtained by analyzing ancient Holocene ice dated 7760 years B.P., that is, before humans started to impact on the atmosphere, show that no detectable increase occurred for Zn, Cd, and Cu before the Industrial Revolution.
