Summary: Random monitoring of mercury in the atmosphere of Zagreb
in the past three years has resulted in construction of mercury
air-pollution maps. The concentrations vary significantly with the seasonal
weather changes, midspring maximum values of 50 ng (Hg)m-3 rise to over 100
ng (Hg) m-3 in the midwinter months. The observed halo of mercury pollution
is almost permanently present over the central and eastern parts of the
city thus severely impacting the soil through washout and dry deposition.
Sampling of particulate airborne matter gave a more complete
characterization of heavy metal contamination of the city. Total lead
concentrations varies in the range of 140-3400 ng (Pb) m-3. Although lead
is mainly the product of gasoline combustion, the results show that the
influence of certain industries is far from negligible. Cadmium
concentration in air ranging from 1 to 3.2 ng(Cd) m-3 and pattern of
distribution applys that the pollution sources should be found in coal
combustion.
