UK Heavy Metals Deposition

Posted by Centre for Ecology & Hydrology on 12/12/2011 0 comments

This is a Defra-funded dataset of metal concentrations in precipitation, hill cloud and air at rural locations throughout the UK. Concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Se, V, Zn in air are measured at all sites to provide estimates of annual wet and dry deposition, published as deposition maps at 5km resolution. The dataset also contains measurements of Hg in precipitation and rain.
