Total atmospheric deposition i.e. both wet and dry ones, was sampled in the typical urban area with many sources of pollution. The main sources of pollution are represented by neighbouring the iron and stee l works and the municipal heating plant. The 8 sampling points were located at the rooftop of the buildings at the housing estates with the blocks of flats. The atmospheric deposition fluxes of heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cu, Cr, Cd, As) were determined separa tely for soluble and insoluble phase. The obtaine...

The contribution deals with the evaluation of atmospheric deposition monitoring by the modified bulk deposition met hodology (wet and dry), which was focused on selected heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cu, Cr, Cd , As). The long-time monitoring (2001-2010) was realised in the vicinity of siderite mining and processing plant. The works operated until august 2008. The samples were monitored by means of 17 sites located maximally up to 8 km from main source of pollution. Besides the deposition fluxes of heavy metals, m...
