Figure 2 Seasonal and long-term trends in concentrations, and 5 0 values of atmospheric CO2 measured at high latitudes in the northern (Barrow, Alaska) and southern (American Samoa) hemispheres by the NOAA/CMDL-CU flask network (www.cmdl.noaa.gov/ccgg/index.html). The terrestrial biosphere, concentrated in the northern hemisphere, dominants the seasonal cycle. Fossil fuel emission dominates the long-term trends in CO2 and in...

Potential sources of human exposure to mercury include food contaminated with mercury, inhalation of mercury vapors in ambient air, and exposure to mercury through water, soil and sediment. Dietary intake is by far the most important source of exposure to mercury for the general population. Fish and other seafood products are the main source of methylmercury in the diet studies have shown that methylmercury concentrations in fish and shellfish are 10-100 times greater than in other foods, including cereals, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, meats, poultry, eggs, and milk. As of December 1998, mercury was the chemical contaminant responsible, at least in part, for the issuance of 1931 fish consumption advisories by 40 states, including the US territory of American Samoa. Almost 68% of all advisories issued in the United States are a result of mercury contamination in fish and shellfish. Advisories for mercury have increased steadily by 115% from 899 advisories in 1993 to 1931 advisories in 1998. The number of states that have issued mercury advisories also has risen steadily from 27 states in 1993 to 40 states in 1997, and remains at 40 states for 1998. Advisories for mercury increased nearly 8% from 1997 (1782 advisories) to 1998 (1931 advisories). 

This currently operating network extends from Alaska to Puerto Rico, and from Maine to American Samoa with 190 sampling sites. Many of the stations have been identified as National Trends Network (NTN) sites - the monitoring network of the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP) (15).

Samoan soils, American Samoa, South Pacific Obtained from R. Duce (U.R.I.). Sample 39 was taken at Duce Station, which is on Oh Point. This site is in the trade winds. The soil was dark brown loam. Sample 40 was taken near the NOAA station on Samoa 50 ft down a windward slope. The soil was a red clay. Sample 41 was taken from the banks of a road "cut half a mile from the NOAA station. The soil was a light brown loam. 

Temporal variability. The best examples of temporal change are for tholeiitic lavas from the shield building stage of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii, and for the alkalic shield stage lavas from Tutuila (American Samoa). 

Despite frequent occurrences of ciguatera toxins in many parts of the world, this poisoning is rarely fatal, because of the low concentration of the toxin in fish flesh. Maybe for this reason very few specific regulations exist for ciguatera toxins [6]. In some areas, public health measures have been taken that include bans on the sale of high risk fish from known toxic locations. Such bans have been used in American Samoa, Queensland, French Polynesia, Fiji, Hawaii, and Miami. The bans were apparently with some success but with attendant economic loss [38].
