Abstract
The chemical composition of atmospheric particulate matter and rock samples collected on the island of Heimaey after the January 1973 eruption indicates that volcanic activity is a possible source of global significance for particulate material containing elements such as Br, Se, Sb, and Zn. Atmospheric aerosols from such remote areas as the North Atlantic Ocean and the South Pole are found to be highly enriched in these elements.Keywords
