| The elemental composition of sediment and suspended matter samples from the Belgian coastal and offshore regions of the Southern Bight of the North Sea and from the Scheldt estuary has been determined using X-ray fluorescence and atomic absorption spectrometry.Special attention was given to the heavy metals of the black and grey lists. The bulk sediment and the clay/silt fraction were analyzed. The average heavy metal contents in the fraction <63 µm were comparable to the levels in the suspended matter. Different normalization techniques led to the identification of two different populations of sediments. Most of the sediments were enriched in Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb and Zn but no enrichment was found for Cu and Ni. Comparing these data with older data indicates... |

| More than 25,000 individual aerosol particles in 51 particulate matter samples, all taken from a research vessel over the North Sea and the English Channel, in a time range of 4 years, were analyzed by automated electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPXMA). Multivariate methods were used to reduce the total data set. Single-particle analysis combined with hierarchical cluster analysis yields nine major particle types. The North Sea aerosol is predominantly composed of sea salt, sulfur-rich particles, silicates and calcium sulfate particles. Their abundance is dependent on meteorological conditions and sample location. Differences between all samples were studied on the basis of the abundance variations by using principal component analysis. Three factors... |
