Atmospheric heavy metal deposition in agro-ecosystems in China
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2017Atmospheric deposition has become one of the main sources of heavy metals in crops in developed and industrial zones in China for the past several years. However, lack of data of the agro-ecosystems on the vast areas of China makes it difficult to assess the impacts of air pollution on the heavy metal accumulation in crops.

Heavy metal deposition in Scandinavia
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 1973Maps showing the regional differences in the atmospheric deposition of Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Fe have been prepared for Finland, Norway and Sweden from data obtained by means of moss analysis, a method previously shown to be a sensitive and reliable tool in measuring heavy metal deposition.

Heavy Metal Concentrations in Plants in Relation to Atmospheric Heavy Metal Deposition
Journal of Environmental Quality, 1995AbstractZinc, Cu, Pb, and Cd concentrations were examined in several plant species and corresponding organic topsoil collected in forest and on ombrotrophic bogs along a temporal (1982–1992) and a spatial (Southern Norway‐Central Norway) heavy metal deposition gradient.

Atmospheric heavy metal deposition in the Copenhagen area
Environmental Pollution (1970), 1978Abstract Atmospheric dry and wet deposition (bulk precipitation) of the heavy metals Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, V and Fe over the Copenhagen area was measured by sampling in plastic funnels from 17 stations during a twelve-month period. Epigeic bryophytes from 100 stations in the area were analysed for the heavy metals Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn, Ni, V, Cr and Fe.

Deposition of heavy metals in biological tissues of workers in metal workshops
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022Welding and cutting of metals produce large amounts of particulate matter (PM), which poses a significant health risk to exposed workers. Appropriate biological markers to estimate exposure are of great interest for occupational health and safety. Here, hair and nail samples from metal workers were analyzed, which appear to be more suitable than blood ...

Solubility of deposited airborne heavy metals
Atmospheric Research, 2008Abstract Toxic effects of heavy metals in water and soil environments are important. Quantifying the heavy metal concentrations and their solubilities in dry and wet deposition samples is part of atmospheric research. Soluble fractions of the deposited air pollutants are important in food chain mechanisms as heavy metals may cause ecotoxic impacts ...

Acid deposition and heavy metal mobilization
Applied Geochemistry, 1996Abstract During the Third International Symposium on Environmental Geochemistry held at Krakow, Poland in September 1994, a Workshop was held on “Acid Deposition and Heavy Metal Mobilization” which was sponsored by the European Environmental Research Organization (EERO).

Increased recovery through deposit on heavy metal batteries
Waste Management & Research, 1983The advantages of a deposit system to expedite the collection of batteries containing mercury and cadmium are explored against the background of the Swedish environmental protection system. Voluntary collection of used batteries at major points of sale accompanied by vigorous advertising and propaganda campaigns can achieve about 30-40% returns.

Heavy metal sulphide deposits and geochemical surveys for heavy metals in New Zealand
Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1985Abstract The ultimate primary source of heavy metals in the environment is crustal rock and the mineral deposits it contains. Background levels in the earth’s crust of the main “toxic” heavy metals lie in the ranges of: lead, 1–20 ppm; cadmium, 0.01–0.03 ppm; mercury, 0.01–0.09 ppm; and arsenic, 1–13 ppm.
