Determination of atmospheric pollutants in wet deposition

Abstract: Water is transferred from the atmosphere to the land surface mainly via various forms of atmospheric precipitation, but the contribution of surface condensation and direct deposition (e.g., dew, hoar frost, occult precipitation, etc.) should not be neglected. Wet deposition (including surface condensation and direct deposition) scavenges pollutants from the atmosphere and contributes significantly to their transport. The composition of the runoff formed on contact with various surfaces might be further modifie… Show more

“…Studies on the land-use impact on the atmosphere reveal growing concerns about decreasing environmental quality which may threaten public health [47,48,49,50]. Among a variety of airborne pollutants [51], SO 2 , NOx, PM 10 , and PM 2.5 were mostly investigated [11,52] since they are considered closely related to regional air quality [53].…”

“…Water pollution is a very serious problem in both the developing and the developed countries, many citizens lose their lives daily [7]. Some of the water pollutants includes; agricultural pollutants [8]; atmospheric pollutants [9]; Pathogens [10]; Pesticides [11]; herbicides [12]; sediments [13]; salt water pollution [14] and chemical pollutants [15]. Non-essential heavy metals are among the chemical pollutants which are of great concern globally due to their toxicity in human body [16].…”

“…High concentrations of nitrogen compounds pose a threat to animal and human health and, in the case of surface waters (lakes, seas, and rivers), these pollutants can lead to eutrophication, which disturbs the ecological balance of the aquatic environment [3][4][5][6].Clean water is vital to human life and the proper functioning of natural ecosystems; as a result, the protection of water quality is one of the priorities identified by the European strategy for environmental protection. To protect water from nitrogen pollution, the EU member states are obliged to comply with the Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC).…”
