Impacts of Heavy Metal Emission on Air Quality and Ecosystems across Germany – Sources, Transport, Deposition and potential Hazards

Part 1: Assessment of the atmospheric heavy metal deposition to terrestrial ecosystems in Germany


The study investigates spatial and temporal trends of airborn deposition of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, vanadium and zinc in Germany using modelled and measured data, among these results of bioaccumulation surveys. A risk assessment is provided by comparing the results with environment quality targets and criteria from regulations.
