Total gaseous mercury (TGM) fluxes from the forest floor and a boreal wetland were measured by a flux chamber technique coupled with an automatic mercury vapour analyser. The fluxes were measured at three sampling sites in southern Finland, 61°14′ N, 25°04′ E in summer 2007, with additionally in situ TGM concentrations in the air at one of the sites and mercury bulk deposition at another. Most of the flux data were collected during the daytime. At one of the sites, diurnal flux behaviour was studied, and a clear cycle with an afternoon maximum and a night minimum was observed. The highest emissions (up to 3.5 ng m−2 h−1) were observed at the forest floor site having a moss and grass cover. At the wetland and litter-rich forest floor sites, the emissions were below 1 ng m−2 h−1 and sometimes negative (down to −1.0 ng m−2 h−1), indicating mercury uptake. The measured average fluxes in August were 0.9 ± 1.1 and 0.2 ± 0.3 ng m−2 h−1 for the forest floor sites and wetland sites, respectively. The flux data were compared with the mercury bulk deposition, which proved to be of the same magnitude, but opposite in sign. At the mossy forest floor site, the extrapolated TGM emissions were 130% of the Hg deposition in August 2007. Comparison with other studies showed that the fluxes in background areas are relatively uniform, regardless of measurement site location and method used. Airborne TGM remained at the background level during the study, with an average value of 1.3 ± 0.2 ng m−3; it frequently showed a diurnal cycle pattern.  相似文献

Air/surface exchange of mercury was investigated over background soils at five sites in the Tahquamenon River watershed in the Michigan Upper Peninsula in the summer of 1998. Measurements of Hg fluxes were performed during middayperiods using the ORNL Teflon dynamic flux chamber. Mean Hg emission fluxes were 1.4±0.3–2.4±1.0 ng m-2 hr-1 for three shaded forest sites and 7.6±1.7 ng m-2 hr-1 for an open field site. Hg dry deposition was observed at a heavily shaded forest site overwet soils (mean = –0.3±0.2 ng m-2 hr-1). Theoverall mean Hg flux was 1.4±1.4 ng m-2 hr-1for the four shaded forest sites. The Hg fluxes observed at these sites are similar to those found at other northern background sites. Significant, rapid response of Hg emission to solar radiation was observed over these background soils. Artificial irrigation over these soils induced immediate andmeasurable increases in Hg emission. Soil temperature was found to be less influential to Hg air/surface exchange over these heavily shaded forest background soils than we have seen elsewhere.  相似文献

Measurements of the atmospheric concentration gradients of mercury (Hg) vapor over soils can be used to determine the direction and magnitude of exchange rates of Hg if certain assumptions are met. However, these gradients are quite small and require highly precise sampling to achieve accurate data. We have developed a sampling and analysis procedure which allows quantification of gradients over background soils. With this procedure we can now measure atmospheric Hg at ambient levels with a precision of ～0.5 to 2% (expressed as relative standard error). This level of precision is well above those published in earlier gradient studies. In our recent studies, gradients measured between 25 and 165 cm above background forest soils at Walker Branch Watershed, Tennessee were quite small, ranging from 0.02 to 0.39 ng/m3 (expressed as concentration differences). These gradients indicated that Hg emission was about 3 times more frequent than dry deposition. Gradients measured over soils at Lake Gårdsjön, Sweden were generally smaller but also indicated bidirectional fluxes. By comparison, gradients above Hg-contaminated soils in Tennessee were far larger as expected, ranging from 0.12 to 5.60 ng/m3. These gradients consistently indicated emission of Hg. A number of tests were performed to validate that these gradients were true indications of Hg exchange rates.  相似文献

A seasonal variation of both particle and gaseous Hg concentrations in the atmosphere is present in south-western Sweden. An average gaseous Hg level of 3.7 ng m−3 is found in winter, compared to 2.8 ng m−3 in summer. A weak decreasing south-north gradient for gaseous Hg in air over the Nordic countries is also present, with yearly average values from 3.2 to 2.8 ng m−3. A gradient for particulate Hg is less clear. An air parcel trajectory sector classification of gaseous Hg levels in air, and to some extent the particulate associated Hg, clearly demonstrates the increased concentrations in the southern sectors, especially in south-western Sweden where the gaseous Hg increase is about I ng m−3. These observations are consistent with an influence from the European continent. The average concentrations of Hg in precipitation at the various stations show a pronounced decreasing south-north gradient. A major portion of the total Hg present in precipitation is associated with particles. For the southern stations, a strong correlation between Hg and sulfate, or pH, is present suggesting a connection between Hg in precipitation and anthropogenic activities.  相似文献

This study was carried out from June 1995 to December 1998 to explore the current status of fluoride pollution, fluoride deposition, and sources of fluoride in Beijing. The mean fluorideconcentration of ambient aerosols in Beijing was 0.61 μg m-3, with a range of 0.08 to 1.61 μg m-3. The highest concentration (1.61 μg m-3) occurred in winterand was 20 times higher than in summer. This maximum concentration is to compare with annual volume-weighted averagefluoride concentration in Chongqing, Sichuan Province, an areaseriously polluted with fluoride. Fluoride pollution occurred inwinter in Beijing, because of the increased consumption of coal for heating, which resulted also in the highest dry deposition during winter and lowest in summer. The seasonal variations intotal fluoride were different from those of dry deposition. Thehighest total deposition was observed in summer, when 75% of theannual precipitation falls. Soil dust and coal combustion wereconsidered the main sources of fluoride in Beijing.  相似文献

This study reports on the polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) atmospheric dynamics in the dense urban environment of downtown Paris (France). Eight PBDE congeners (BDE-28, BDE-47, BDE-100, BDE-99, BDE-154, BDE-153, BDE-183 and BDE-209) were simultaneously analysed in bulk and wet atmospheric deposition, as well as in ambient air (gaseous/particulate phases), twice a month over a 12-month period (May 2008–May 2009). The total air concentration of Σ 8PBDEs ranged between 12 and 185 pg m−3, and the seasonal variations of PBDE levels were controlled by air temperature (except for BDE-209). Regarding bulk deposition, Σ 8PBDE flux was in the range 5–94 ng m−2 day−1, and it was positively correlated with atmospheric particulate phase PBDE concentrations. Meanwhile, the measured wet deposition flux of Σ 8PBDE ranged between 2 and 24 ng m−2 day−1, and its median contribution to bulk deposition was 39% only, which highlights the importance of dry deposition.  相似文献

Mercury (Hg) was measured in stream water and precipitation in the Loch Vale watershed in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, during 2001–2002 to investigate processes controlling Hg transport in high-elevation ecosystems. Total Hg concentrations in precipitation ranged from 2.6 to 36.2 ng/L and showed a strong seasonal pattern with concentrations that were 3 to 4 times higher during summer months. Annual bulk deposition of Hg was 8.3 to 12.4 μ g/m2 and was similar to deposition rates in the Midwestern and Northeastern U.S. Total Hg concentrations in streams ranged from 0.8 to 13.5 ng/L and were highest in mid-May on the rising limb of the snowmelt hydrograph. Stream-water Hg was positively correlated with dissolved organic carbon suggesting organically complexed Hg was flushed into streams from near-surface soil horizons during the early stages of snowmelt. Methylmercury (MeHg) in stream water peaked at 0.048 ng/L just prior to peak snowmelt but was at or below detection (< 0.040 ng/L) for the remainder of the snowmelt season. Annual export of total Hg in Loch Vale streams ranged from 1.2 to 2.3 μ g/m2, which was less than 20% of wet deposition, indicating the terrestrial environment is a net sink of atmospheric Hg. Concentrations of MeHg in stream water and corresponding watershed fluxes were low, indicating low methylation rates or high demethylation rates or both.  相似文献

Chongqing is among the heaviest polluted cities in China. Combustion of coal with relatively high sulfur content causes high sulfur emission and deposition in the area. Effects on soils and waters of the acid deposition in the Chongqing area have been studied in the field at a forested site outside the city. Deposition chemistry and fluxes, soil and soil water chemistry as well as surface water chemistry are presented for the period 1996–1998. There are some stress symptoms at the forest in the area and severe forest damage has been reported at Nanshan, closer to Chongqing center. Monitoring of the acidification situation in the area must be followed closely as impacts may be expected if the deposition is not reduced in the future. The deposition of sulfur, H+ as well as calcium at the site is high. Wet deposition of sulfur is estimated to 4.7 – 5.7 g S m?2 yr?1 during the three years sampled; dry deposition is probably of similar size. Annual volume-weighted pH in bulk deposition was 4.0 – 4.2 and the calcium wet deposition flux was 2.6 – 3.6 g Ca2+ m?2. There are considerable seasonal variations in the concentrations, related to the seasonal variations in precipitation amount (dry winter, wet summer). The soils at the site are acid with median base saturation of 12% and 8% in the topsoil and subsoil, respectively. In soil water, aluminum concentrations are typically in the range 3–8 mg L?1. However, due to the high base cation deposition, the Al/(Ca2++Mg2+) molar ratio is below unity in most samples, indicating little damage of forest due to aluminum in soil water.  相似文献

To assess the sources, transport and deposition of atmospheric mercury (Hg) in Michigan, a multi-site network was implemented in which Hg concentrations in event precipitation and ambient samples (vapor and participate phases) were determined. Results from the analysis of 2 years of event precipitation samples for Hg are reported here. The volume-weighted average Hg concentration in precipitation was 7.9, 10.8 and 10.2 ng/L for the Pellston, South Haven and Dexter sites, respectively. Yearly wet deposition of Hg for 1992–93 and 1993–94 was 5.8 and 5.5 μg/m2 at Pellston, 9.5 and 12.7 μg/m2 at South Haven and 8.7 and 9.1 μg/m at Dexter. A spatial gradient in both the Hg concentration and wet deposition was observed. Northern Michigan received almost half the deposition of Hg recorded at the southern Michigan sites. The concentration of Hg in precipitation exhibited a strong seasonal behavior with low values of 1.0 to 2.0 ng/L in winter and maximum values greater than 40 ng/L in summer. The spring, summer and autumn precipitation accounted for 89 to 91% of the total yearly Hg deposition. Mixed-layer back trajectories were calculated for each precipitation event to investigate the meteorological history and transport from potential Hg source regions. Elevated Hg concentrations were observed with air mass transport from the west, southwest, south, and southeast. At each of the sites precipitation events for which the Hg concentration was in the 90th and 10th percentile were-analyzed for trace elements by ICP-MS to investigate source impacts.  相似文献

Ambient concentrations and dry deposition fluxes of Hg in the gas and particle phase to Lakes St. Clair, Erie and Huron were estimated with a hybrid receptor-deposition model (HRD). The ambient gas and particulate phase Hg concentrations were predicted to vary by a factor of 12 to 18 during the transport of air masses traversing the lakes. The ensemble average deposition fluxes of fine particle Hg ranged from 7 pg/m2-h to 15.3 pg/m2-h over Lake St. Clair, 0.5 to 4.2 pg/m2-h over Lake Huron and 5.1 to 20.6 pg/m2-h over Lake Erie. The deposition flux of coarse particle Hg was in the range of 50 to 84 pg/m2-h over Lake St. Clair, 4.7 to 24.2 pg/m2-h over Lake Huron and 5.1 to 20.6 pg/m2-h over Lake Erie. Gaseous Hg volatilized at a rate of 0.21 to 0.52 ng/m2-h from Lake Huron and 0.13 to 0.36 from Lake Erie. Gas phase Hg was deposited at a rate of 5.9 ng/m2-h and/or volatilized at a rate of 0.5 ng/m2-h from Lake St. Clair depending upon the location of the sampling site used in the HRD model. The effect of meteorological conditions, particle size distributions and type and location of the sampling sites played an important role in the transfer of atmospheric Hg to and/or from the lakes.  相似文献

The importance of participate mercury (Hg(p)) in the transport, chemistry and deposition of this toxic metal has long been underestimated and largely ignored. While it was once believed to constitute a small percentage of total atmospheric mercury, Hg(p) may contribute a significant portion of the deposition of this metal to adjacent natural waters. Recent measurements of Hg(p) in several urban/industrial areas have documented that Hg can be associated with large particles (>2.5 μm) and in concentrations similar to those of the vapor phase Hg (ng/m3). As part of ongoing effort to diagnose the sources, transport and deposition of Hg to the Great Lakes and other Great Waters, the University of Michigan Air Quality Laboratory (UMAQL) has investigated the physical and chemical properties of particulate-phase Hg in both urban and rural locations. It appears that particulate Hg may be the one of the most difficult of the Hg measurements to perform, and perhaps the one of the most important for deposition and source apportionment studies. Particulate Hg concentrations measured in rural areas of the Great Lakes Region and Vermont ranged from 1 to 86 pg/m3 whereas Hg(p) levels in urban/industrialized areas were in the range 15 pg/m3 to 1.2 ng/m3.  相似文献

Research on mercury (Hg) distribution and speciation was carried out in Lake Baikal, a large, strong-oligotrophic freshwater reservoir in Siberia, Russia, during June 1992 and march 1993. In summer, total Hg in the water column ranged from 0.14 to 0.77 ng Hg/L, with the highest concentrations observed in the central basin of the lake in surface water samples. Labile inorganic Hg was found to be 7 to 20 % of the total Hg content. Highest total Hg concentrations were found in river waters: up to 2 ng Hg/L. Labile methylmercury (MeHg) concentrations ranged from 2 to 38 pg Hg/L in the water column, with the higher concentrations in the central part of the lake, and showing a slight increase in near bottom waters. Labile MeHg makes up 1 to 15 % of the total Hg content in the water column, with larger fractions in deep waters. The slight increase of the MeHg gradient with depth corresponds with the O2 minimum region. Highest MeHg concentrations were observed in river waters (up to 145 pg Hg/L) and in some bays of the lake (up to 160 pg Hg/L). In these high temperature- and phytoplankton-rich water masses, the MeHg-fraction increased up to 35 % of total Hg. Labile MeHg concentrations in water samples taken in winter in the southern basin (under the ice cover), showed slightly higher concentrations than in summer, possibly due to an early spring bloom. In rainwater, total Hg ranged from 3 to 20 ng Hg/L and MeHg from 0.1 to 0.25 ng Hg/L. In snow, a large fraction of total Hg is bound to particulate matter; concentrations of total Hg ranged from 8 to 60 ng Hg/L and labile MeHg from 0.1 to 0.25 ng Hg/L. Atmospheric Hg was found to be 0.73 to 2.31 ng/m3 as gaseous Hg and 0.005 to 0.02 ng/m3 in its particulate form. Spatial distribution patterns of atmospheric Hg show slightly higher concentrations over the central part of the lake and the Selenga river delta. In winter, atmospheric Hg values (measured in the southern region), ranged from 1.2 to 6.1 ng/m3 as total gaseous Hg and 0.02 to 0.09 ng/m3 as total particulate Hg, and are higher than in summer, probably influenced by coal burning and traffic by the local population. MeHg contents in fish ranged from 20 ng Hg/g dry weight in small Cottocomephorus to 300 ng Hg/g dry weight in pike and trout species, which were caught in organic-rich waters.  相似文献

Nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes from an apple orchard soil in the semiarid Loess Plateau of China were measured using static chambers from September 2007 to September 2008. In this study, three sites were selected at distance of 2.5 m (D 2.5), 1.5 m (D 1.5), and 0.5 m (D 0.5) from the apple tree row. Nitrous oxide fluxes followed seasonal pattern, with high N2O emission rates occurring in the hot-humid summer and low rates in the cold-dry winter. Pulses of N2O emissions occurred after nitrogen fertilizer application, summer rainfall events, and during freeze-thaw cycles. Annual average N2O emission rates were the highest at D 0.5 site (48.2 ± 39.9 μg N2O m−2 h−1), the lowest at D 2.5 site (31.9 ± 18.2 μg N2O m−2 h−1), and intermediate at D1.5 site (36.8 ± 32.2 μg N2O m−2 h−1), suggesting that N2O emissions from the apple orchard soil increased when the chamber location was closer to the apple tree row. This may be due to the fertilization close to roots in hot and humid season. Over one third (37.1%) of the annual N2O emission occurred in the summer. Annual N2O emissions from the apple orchard soil averaged to 3.22 kg N2O ha−1 year−1. Annual emission factor of the apple orchard from the applied fertilizer (uncorrected for background emission) was 0.658%. This value was nearly a half (53%) of the default value provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for the application of synthetic fertilizers to cropland (1.25%). Therefore, the amount of N2O emissions from the semiarid apple orchard soil could be largely overestimated if no regional-specific factor is used.  相似文献

Atmospheric mobilization and exchange at the air-water interface are significant features of biogeochemical cycling of Hg at the Earth's surface. Our marine studies of Hg have been extended to terrestrial aquatic systems, where we are investigating the tropospheric cycling, deposition and air-water exchange of Hg in the mid-continental lacustrine environs of northcentral Wisconsin. This program is part of a multidisciplinary examination into the processes regulating the aquatic biogeochemistry of Hg in temperate regions. Trace-metal-free methodologies are employed to determine Hg and alkylated Hg species at the picomolar level in air, water and precipitation. We have found Hg concentrations and atmospheric fluxes in these fresh water systems to be similar to open ocean regions of the Northern Hemisphere. A well constrained mass balance for Hg has been developed for one of the lakes, Little Rock Lake, which is an extensively studied clear water seepage lake that has been divided with a sea curtain into two basins, one of which is untreated (reference pH: 6.1) while the other is being experimentally acidified (current pH: 4.7). This budget shows that the measured total atmospheric Hg deposition (ca. 10 μg m−2 yr−1) readily accounts for the total mass of Hg in fish, water and accumulating in the sediments of Little Rock Lake. This analysis demonstrates the importance of atmospheric Hg depositional fluxes to the geochemical cycling and bioaccumulation of Hg in temperate lakes. It further suggests that modest increases in atmospheric Hg loading could lead directly to enhanced levels of Hg in biota. Analogous modeling for monomethylmercury (MMHg) is as yet limited. Nevertheless, preliminary data for the atmospheric deposition of MMHg indicate that this flux is insufficient. to account for the amounts of MMHg observed in biota. An in-lake synthesis of MMHg is implicated. The importance of volatile Hg which is principally in the elemental form, and its evasion to the atmosphere is also illustrated. We suggest that the in-lake production of Hg° can reduce the Hg (II) substrate used in the in-lake microbiological synthesis of MMHg.  相似文献

The “Great Waters” program, established in the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, mandated that atmospheric deposition of hazardous air pollutants to Lake Champlain (including Hg) be assessed. An assessment of the magnitude and seasonal variation of atmospheric Hg deposition in the Lake Champlain basin was initiated in December 1992 with one year of event precipitation collection, as well as collection of vapor and particle phase Hg in ambient air. Samples were collected at the Vermont Monitoring Cooperative air monitoring site at the Proctor Maple Research Center in Underhill Center, VT. The average volume-weighted concentration for Hg in precipitation was 8.3 ng/L for the sampling year and the average amount of Hg deposited with each precipitation event was 0.069 μg/m2. The total amount of Hg deposited through precipitation during 1993 was 9.26 μg/m2/yr. A seasonal pattern for Hg in precipitation was evident, with increased concentrations and deposition during spring and summer months. Meteorological analysis indicated the highest levels of Hg in precipitation were associated with regional transport from the south regardless of season, and with transport from the west, southwest and northwest during spring and summer months. Concentrations of ambient vapor phase Hg were typical of rural locations and consistent across seasons. Ambient particulate Hg concentrations averaged 11 pg/m3 with highest concentrations during the winter months.  相似文献

Mercury is emitted from soil and water surfaces, but few actual direct flux measurements have been reported. During June, 1994 we performed the first micrometeorological measurements of Hg vapor fluxes over a boreal forest lake. Using highly precise methods with multiple replicate samplers, we measured concentration gradients of Hg vapor, CO2 and H2O over the lake surface. Mercury was readily emitted from the lake surface, and we found no evidence of Hg dry deposition to the lake. Emission rates over the lake averaged 8.5 ng m2 h?1, and appeared to be weakly influenced by water temperature and solar radiation. These fluxes were somewhat higher than those previously measured using surface chambers at this site.  相似文献

Divalent Hg is reduced by sulfite in aqueous solutions. The proposed mechanism involves the formation of an instable intermediate, HgSO3, which decomposes to produce Hg+ which in turn is rapidly reduced to Hg0. The overall rate of the reaction is inversely dependent on the concentration of sulfite. This reaction may influence the concentration of Hg in cloud- and rain-water by reducing water soluble Hg2+ to volatile Hg0. At low concentrations of SO2(g) (5 μg m−3, 25 °C), the rate of the conversion of Hg(SO3)2 2− to Hg0 becomes significant (> 1 % h−1) at pH < 5.5. At higher S02 concentrations (500 pg m−3), the same rate is expected at pH < 4.5.  相似文献

Litterfall can be an important flux of mercury (Hg) to soils in forested landscapes, yet typically the only available data to evaluate Hg deposition is from precipitation Hg monitoring. Litterfall was collected at 39 sampling sites in two small research watersheds, in 2003 and 2004, and analyzed for total Hg. Four vegetation classes were designated in this study as hardwoods, softwoods, mixed and scrub. The mean litter Hg concentration in softwoods (58.8 ± 3.3 ng Hg g?1 was significantly greater than in mixed (41.7 ± 2.8 ng Hg g?1 and scrub (40.6 ± 2.7 ng Hg g?1, and significantly lower than in hardwoods (31.6 ± 2.6 ng Hg g?1. In contrast, the mean weighted litter Hg flux was not significantly different among vegetation classes. The lack of a significant difference in litter Hg flux between hardwoods and softwoods was attributable to the large autumnal hardwood litter Hg flux being balanced by the higher softwood litter Hg concentrations, along with the higher chronic litterfall flux throughout the winter and spring in softwoods. The estimated annual deposition of Hg via litterfall in Hadlock Brook watershed (10.1 μg m?2 and Cadillac Brook watershed (10.0 μg m?2 was greater than precipitation Hg deposition and similar to or greater than the magnitude of Hg deposition via throughfall. These results demonstrate that litterfall Hg flux to forested landscapes can be at least as important as precipitation Hg inputs.  相似文献

The Arctic air mass is a unique meteorological feature of the northern hemispheric atmosphere. Possessing well-defined meteorological characteristics, it occupies not only the polar region but also a large fraction of the Canadian and Eurasian land masses during the period November to April. Poor pollutant removal by precipitation and dry deposition within the air mass and a strong transport pathway between Eurasian mid-latitudinal sources and the north, result in elevated levels of acidic anthropogenic aerosols and gases in the air mass during winter. In summer, weak north/south transport and strong pollutant removal between the Arctic and mid-latitudes and within the Arctic, results in lower airborne concentrations of acidic pollutants. Due to the presence of the relatively polluted Arctic air mass, ‘background’ air concentrations of SO4 =, SO2 and total NO3 ? are elevated in western Canada during winter. Typical mean monthly concentrations from December to March are 0.8 to 2.1, 1.0 to 2.4 and 0.1 ? 0.6 μg m?3, respectively. In the absence of the neutralizing influence of alkaline soil dust, the acidity of snow forming in western Canada during winter is expected to range from 5 to 20 μeq l ?1.  相似文献

Temporal depositional rates are important in order to understand the production and occurrence of perchlorate (ClO4−) as limited information exists regarding the impact of anthropogenic production or atmospheric pollution on ClO4− deposition. Perchlorate concentrations in discrete ice core samples from the Eclipse Icefield (Yukon Territory, Canada) and Upper Fremont Glacier (Wyoming, USA) were analyzed using ion chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to evaluate temporal changes in the deposition of ClO4 − in North America. The ice core samples cover a time period from 1726 to 1993 and 1970 to 2002 for the Upper Fremont Glacier (UFG) and Eclipse ice cores, respectively. The average ClO4 − concentration in the Eclipse ice core for the time period from 1970 to 1973 was 0.6 ± 0.3 ng L−1, with higher values of 2.3 ± 1.7 and 2.2 ± 2.0 ng L−1 for the periods 1982–1986 and 1999–2002, respectively. All pre-1980 ice core samples from the UFG had ClO4 − concentrations <0.2 ng L−1, and the post-1980 samples ranged from <0.2 ng L−1 to a maximum of 2.6 ng L−1 for the year 1992. A significant positive correlation (R = 0.75, N = 15, p < 0.001) of ClO4− with SO42− was found for the annual UFG ice core layers and of ClO4 − with SO42− and NO3− in sub-annual Eclipse ice samples (R > 0.3, N = 121, p < 0.002). The estimated yearly ClO4− depositional flux for the Eclipse ice core ranged from 0.6 (1970) to 4.7 μg m−2 year−1 (1982) and the UFG from <0.1 (pre-1980) to 1.4 μg m−2 year−1 (1992). There was no consistent seasonal variation in the ClO4− depositional flux for the Eclipse ice core, in contrast to a previous study on the Arctic region. The presence of ClO4− in these ice cores might correspond to an intermittent source such as volcanic eruptions and/or any anthropogenic forcing that may directly or indirectly aid in atmospheric ClO4− formation.  相似文献
