Abstract
Although atmospheric metal levels vary throughout the city of Glasgow, the mean values are in good agreement with those reported for other centres. Enrichment factors do not however vary much for Al, Cr, Mn and Fe, but show some variation in Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu and Zn. These findings suggest that there is a blanket of trace metals in the atmosphere produced by the burning of fossil fuels, on top of which is superimposed levels of Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu and Zn from additional industrial sources.
