Abstract
Multielement study of fog water at the Uludag mountain, Northwestern Turkey, is presented. Fourteen elements (Al, As, Br, Cl, Cs, Fe, I, K, Mn, Na, Sc, Sb, V, Zn) are determined by INAA. Sulfate is determined by ion chromatography. Sulfate showed good correlation with non-crustal Mn. Marine particles dominated fog water composition among four major sources. Low to moderate variations of trace element concentration were observed by using three different fog collectors.
Abstract
Twenty six trace elements were determined by INAA in the aerosol samples collected at two stations in Ankara, Turkey. Industrially derived elements, Se, As, Sb, Zn and Au did not show seasonal dependence and they were not substantially enriched. Elements originating from coal combustion are highly enriched and have higher concentrations in the winter. Correlation factors indicate that motor vehicles, coal and oil combustion are the main sources of aerosols over the city.
