Toxic Metals in the AtmosphereJerome O. Nriagu, Cliff I. Davidson Deals with the origins, behavior and eventual fate of airborne metals--their physical characteristics interactions, transport, and removal from ambient air. Also covers trends, routine and special monitoring of atmospheric metal levels. Synthesizes important information on this topic from a wide range of fields--including chemistry, biology, ecology, agriculture, physics, geochemistry, oceanography, and meteorology. |
