Abstract

Deposition samples were collected and analyzed for selected heavy metals in Izmir, Turkey on different days in October 2003-June 2004. A water surface sampler was used to collect dry deposition and rainwater samples to represent the wet deposition during the rainy period of the year. Heavy metal concentrations and fluxes of both dry and wet deposition forms were determined.
