This book deals with the origins, behavior and eventual fate of airborne metals - their physical characteristics interactions, transport and removal from ambient air. Also covered in the book are trends, routine and special monitoring of atmospheric metal levels. Important information on this topic is synthesized, from a wide range of fields, including chemistry, biology, ecology, agriculture, physics, geochemistry, oceanography and meteorology.
