Total airborne mercury and its possible origin
1982
Brosset, C. (Swedish Water and Air Pollution Research Inst., Goeteborg (Sweden))
Total airborne Hg as well as black particles (soot) were monitored in a number of clean air areas in Sweden. For some of the sampling sites, back trajectories for air movements at 850 mb were provided by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. It is shown that the total Hg in air may be divided into two fractions. The most important one may be considered to be a background and is probably the result of re-emission of Hg by the ground and by natural water. The other fraction is highly dependent on wind direction in the same way as black particles. This fraction seems to be of anthropogenic origin.
