Mass spectrometry of atmospheric aerosols--recent developments and applications. Part II: On-line mass spectrometry techniques.

TL;DR: Real-time mass spectrometry has been shown recently to provide the ability to probe the chemical composition of ambient individual particles <30 nm in diameter to further the understanding of how particles are formed through nucleation in the atmosphere.

Fractional solubility of aerosol iron: Synthesis of a global-scale data set

TL;DR: This paper presented a global-scale compilation of total aerosol iron loading and estimated %FeS values for ∼1100 samples collected over the open ocean, the coastal ocean, and some continental sites, including a new data set from the Atlantic Ocean.

Influence of anthropogenic combustion emissions on the deposition of soluble aerosol iron to the ocean: Empirical estimates for island sites in the North Atlantic

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used field data from the Bermuda region to estimate the solubility of aerosol iron using bulk aerosol concentrations of Fe, V and Al, and found that anthropogenic emissions contribute approximately 70% and 85% of the annual dry deposition of soluble iron to the surface ocean near Bermuda and Ireland, respectively.

Revisiting atmospheric dust export to the Southern Hemisphere ocean: Biogeochemical implications

TL;DR: In this paper, a map of dust deposition on the Southern Hemisphere is proposed by incorporating those in situ measurements into a dust model, showing that dust deposition is not the dominant source of iron to the large high-nutrient low-chlorophyll Southern Ocean.

Stable lead isotope compositions in selected coals from around the world and implications for present day aerosol source tracing.

TL;DR: Lead concentration and isotopic composition for 59 coal samples representing major coal deposits worldwide suggest that the PbIC in coals is strongly influenced by the depositional coal forming environment, and supports the notion that "old Pb pollution" from leaded gasoline reemitted into the atmosphere or long-range transport (i.e., from China to the western U.S.) is important.

The composition of the continental crust

TL;DR: In this paper, a new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC) to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower-crust (MLC) of about 1.6:0.4.

Quantitative assessment of worldwide contamination of air, water and soils by trace metals

TL;DR: Calculated loading rates of trace metals into the three environmental compartments demonstrate that human activities now have major impacts on the global and regional cycles of most of the trace elements.

The atmospheric input of trace species to the world ocean

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess current data in this area, develop global scale estimates of the atmospheric fluxes of trace elements, mineral aerosol, nitrogen species, and synthetic organic compounds to the ocean; and compare the atmospheric input rates of these substances to their input via rivers.
