Heavy metals scavenged type

Heavy metals are removed from the atmosphere by means of surface uptake and precipitation scavenging. The ecosystem-specific dry deposition scheme is based on the resistance analogy approach and distinguishes 16 land use types. Wet removal by precipitation considers both in-cloud and sub-cloud scavenging.

Some transition metals and heavy metals, such as Cu, Fe, Ga, Zr, Ti, La and other rare earths, have distributions that are influenced by both recycling and scavenging processes. For example, copper displays the characteristic surface depletion and deep-sea enrichment of the recycled element type however, its concentration increases only gradually (almost linearly) with depth, indicating the effects of scavenging.
