National Atmospheric Deposition Program Mercury Deposition Network. Mercury Analytical Laboratory Annual Quality Assurance Report, 2007

摘要

This is the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) Mercury Analytical Laboratory Annual Quality Assurance Report for 2007. Since January 1996, Frontier GeoSciences Inc. (FGS) has served as the Mercury Analytical Laboratory (HAL) and Site Liaison Center for the Mercury Deposition Network (MDN). MDN, coordinated through the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP), was designed with the primary objective of quantifying the wet deposition of mercury in North America to determine long-term geographic and temporal distributions. MDN has grown to incorporate over 105 sites in the United States and Canada. In 2008, MDN is expected to incorporate 10-15 additional new sites.
