EFFECTS OF REDUCED LEADED FUEL CONSUMPTION ON ATMOSPHERIC LEAD BEHAVIOR
Abstract
A correlation analysis is applied to the Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn concentrations in the Ligurian atmosphere, for 1986-1987 and 1992-1993 samples successively. The decrease of atmospheric Pb as a consequence of antipollution policies on gasolines is confirmed and the relatively strong natural component of Cu appears.
