Abstract
Unlike the heavier organohalogen compounds such as DDT and PCBs, atmospheric trace metals have significant natural as well as anthropogenic sources. Thus one of the major problems in understanding trace metals and their transport in the atmosphere is distinguishing between the natural and anthropogenic components. While this is often relatively easy to do in or near urban areas, it becomes increasingly difficult on a regional and global scale.
