Two cetacean species reveal different long-term trends for toxic trace elements in European Atlantic French waters
2022, ChemosphereCitation Excerpt :They concluded that probably the current Cd levels result exclusively from natural sources. Furthermore, Cd concentrations in Greenland ice and snow cores suggested stable Cd levels from 7760 BP to 1850, after which a sevenfold increased was observed up to 1960–1970, followed by a twofold decrease until 1992 (Candelone et al., 1996). The increasing trend observed for Cd concentrations in dolphins is in opposition with the majority trend observed on the literature, which rather confirms an effect of dietary changes and/or feeding areas for common dolphins.
Pb concentrations and isotopic record preserved in northwest Greenland snow
2017, ChemosphereCitation Excerpt :Our Pb concentrations are lower than the highest Pb concentrations from the 1960s−1970s. As noted above, following the phase out of leaded gasoline in the United States and other countries, atmospheric Pb emissions and deposition onto the Greenland ice sheet decreased dramatically; however, despite such a drop in Pb concentrations during the 1980s–1990s, they did not return to pre-industrial levels (Candelone et al., 1996; Sherrell et al., 2000; Barbante et al., 2003). Pb concentrations in Greenland snow from 1981 to 1990 were observed to be within the range of 3.0–158 pg g−1 (Savarino et al., 1994; Sherrell et al., 2000).
Elements and inorganic ions as source tracers in recent Greenland snow
2017, Atmospheric EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Crustal enrichment factors (CEFs; see Equation (1)) are a common first approach for estimating the extent of anthropogenic contributions to measured concentrations of a given element, particularly in the context of inferring atmospheric aerosol composition and sources from snow and ice records (Barbante et al., 2003; Boutron et al., 1994; Hong et al., 2012; Veysseyre et al., 2001). Likewise, correlation coefficients can provide information about common sources of species (Barbante et al., 2003; Candelone et al., 1996; Laj et al., 1997; McConnell and Edwards, 2008), as well as different sources with shared transport and deposition (Banta et al., 2008; Barbante et al., 2003). Box plots of CEFs are shown in Fig. 1 (sorted by median EF for clarity) and average and median values are listed in Table S2.
Seasonal variation in the input of atmospheric selenium to northwestern Greenland snow
2015, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :In our snow samples, maxima in δ18O were observed at 41.1–45.7, 91.4–96.0, 141.7–146.3, 196.6–201.1, 260.6–265.1, and 297.1–301.6 cm, while minima were found at 27.4–32.0, 73.1–77.7, 114.3–118.8, 164.6–169.1, 233.1–237.7, and 278.9–283.4 cm depth intervals (Table S2 and Fig. 2). Atmospheric Al concentrations in Greenland usually exhibit strong peaks in spring associated with Asian dust episodes (Candelone et al., 1996; Barbante et al., 2003). In this study, pronounced Al peaks were observed at 9.1–13.7, 160.0–164.6, 205.7–210.3, and 306.3–310.9 cm and relatively weak peaks at 68.6–73.1, 105.1–109.7, and 274.3–278.9 cm (Table S2 and Fig. 2).
