Abstract: | The main purpose of this study was to monitor ambient air particles and particulate-bound mercury Hg(p) in total suspended
particulates (TSP) concentration, dry deposition at five characteristic-sampling sites. In addition, the calculated/measured
dry deposition flux ratios of ambient air particles and particulate-bound mercury Hg(p) using three dry deposition models
during the years of 2009–2010 were also studied. The results showed that the order of seasonal variations for mean particulate-bound
mercury Hg(p) concentrations in TSP at Bei-shi (suburban/coastal), Chang-hua (downtown) and He-mei (residential) were all
shown as spring > fall, winter > summer, respectively. However, the order of seasonal variations mean particulate-bound mercury
Hg(p) concentrations in TSP that occurred at Gao-mei (wetland) were shown as spring > fall > winter > summer, respectively.
Finally, the results of this study also indicated that using the Noll and Fang model exhibited batten prediction results for
ambient air particles and particulate-bound mercury Hg(p) dry deposition when compared with the other depositions models at
any of the characteristic-sampling sites for this study. |
