Atmospheric metal deposition in London

Few measurements of deposition rates of metals other than lead have been reported for urban areas in the United Kingdom. The present paper describes the measurements made over a period of several months of ten metals at eight sites in Greater London. Metal deposition was monitored with moss bags and total deposition collectors, and some measurements were also made of the concentrations of the metals in air. The deposition rates found are compared with those reported in other U.K. studies.
