This case study delves into measuring heavy metals in the Netherlands, specifically lead emissions and deposition. The study aims to inform a new strategy for measurements and compares modeled data with actual measurements for lead concentrations. It further explores the analysis of high peaks, examines other heavy metals like cadmium and mercury, and assesses deposition across the Netherlands to determine critical loads. This comprehensive study provides insights into heavy metal pollution in the country.

Introduction Heavy metals are measured in the Netherlands in air and precipitation:
Goal of case study Netherlands Heavy metal case study will be used for new strategy for measurements ? ?
Emissions in the Netherlands 1 Source: http://www.emissieregistratie.nl Standard Pb emissions for 2007 EMEP Grid (50x50)
Emissions in the Netherlands 2 Case study EMEP Grid (5x5)
Result for the averaged concentration of lead Industrial Source Pb Netherlands
Simulation results of other years than 2007 for example 2008 and 2009 Analysis for high peaks: model versus measurements Other heavy metals: Cd and Hg Assess deposition over the Netherlands (i.e. critical loads) Prospects
