Abstract
Since the middle of this century, energy generation, industrial production and transportation have caused serious environmental contamination by trace elements including heavy metals. The rate of contamination can vary from place to place as a function of source densities and intensities of heavy metals flux as well as meteorological conditions. Aerosols containing heavy metals can be transported far away from their sources by advection before being deposited.
