Evaluation of airborne heavy metal pollution from European sources
An improved MSC-East model for the evaluation of the atmospheric concentration and deposition of heavy metals in Europe and adjoining regions is described. At present, modelling of lead, zinc, arsenic, cadmium and mercury concentrations is carried out within the EMEP grid. At the same time, MSC East performs model calculations within the whole northern hemisphere to the north of 20°N. Each ...

Continuous monitoring of hazardous smokestack metal emissions using inductively coupled argon plasma atomic emission spectrometry
Introduction Emission of hazardous air pollutant metals from the smokestacks of boilers, incinerators, and furnaces has become a matter of significant environmental concern and the object of increased regulatory scrutiny. At issue, is the ability of large-scale combustors such as these to maintain operation in compliance with the regulatory restrictions put in place to safeguard the public from ...

Accumulation of heavy metals in forest dwarf shrubs and dominant mosses as bioindicators of atmospheric pollution
This article discusses the environmental concerns about heavy metal accumulation in dominant forest mosses and dwarf shrubs. Samples of two different species of mosses, such as glittering wood moss (Hylocomium splendens) and feathermoss (Pleurozium schreberi), and two species of dwarf shrubs, that is European blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) and lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), were collected ...

Statistical procedure for the inter-comparison of atmospheric dispersion models and model calibration with measurements
Special analytical methodology for model-model and model-measurement comparison is presented. It can be used with the data provided by airborne transport models. Basic statistical procedures have been elaborated for model calibration and for analysis of the quality and representativeness of the datasets. Special adaptation of well-known methods and elaboration of new ones have been carried out to ...
