An integrated study of the chemical composition of Antarctic aerosol to investigate natural and anthropogenic sources
During the 2010–11 austral summer, an aerosol sampling campaign was carried out at a coastal Antarctic site (Terra Nova Bay, Victoria Land). In this work, previously published data about water-soluble organic compounds and major and trace elements were merged with novel measurements of major ions, c...
