COMMISSION ON ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY (VI.2)
Number: 620/27/96
Title: Deposition on Different Scales of Space and Time
of Inorganic and Organic Compounds
Coordinator(s): J.
Slanina
Remarks: Interaction with Commission VI.3
Completion Date: 2000 - project terminated
Objective:
The assessment of loads of pollutants and of import and export of
pollutants requires generalization of deposition over very different
scales of time and space. The extension of results, e.g. measured
in The Netherlands to e.g. China is absolutely wrong, but assessments
are made in this fashion continuously. The errors induced by these
extensions will be documented in first order assessment. The present
expertise should also be applied to loads of pesticides and other
compounds relevant of water quality.
Progress:
Decision taken jointly with Commission VI-3, was to carry on this
project as a workshop, attached to the Division Meeting, in June
2000 in Israel.
In the mean time a first version of a document will be produced
(first draft is ready) as a basis for this scientific discussion.
