Metals in U.S. rivers are transported principally by suspended sediments. ... There is no reliable estimate of metal loading (the total annual input) to Jordan Reservoir. ... The specific objectives of the research were the following: ... Use metal concentration and flow data to generate metal loading data for Jordan Lake as a first step in understanding the effects of metal input on the water quality of the reservoir.

CONT

En Suisse, chaque année, près de 80 000 t d'appareils électriques et électroniques doivent être éliminés. Les ordinateurs représentent à eux seuls 10 000 t. L'analyse, après dissection, d'un gros échantillon de PC hors d'usage a permis d'évaluer la contribution de ces engins à la charge polluante en métaux lourds nuisibles : parmi les ordures ménagères, ils contribuent relativement peu à l'apport en cadmium et en mercure mais beaucoup à celle en cuivre, étain et nickel.

OBS

The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment(GOME) was launched on April 21st 1995 on board the second European Remote Sensing Satellite(ERS-2). This instrument can measure a range of atmospheric trace constituents, with the emphasis on global ozone distributions. GOME is a nadir-viewing spectrometer that measures the solar radiation scattered by the atmosphere in the ultraviolet and visible spectral region(240 to 790 nm).

CONT

TAGA. The Trace Atmospheric Gas Analyser was developed at the University of Toronto and SCIEX Ltd. The device uses a quadrapole mass spectrometer in continuous operational mode. System sensitivity is high(ppt levels), selectivity for various pollutants is good, and can be used in a mobile environment. EPS is evaluating the device for a monitoring role. The system is quite expensive(well over $100, 000) and requires a high level of expertise to operate. Because of its price it will probably be limited to use by organizations conducting large atmospheric surveys.
