Abstract
Spheroidal carbonaceous particles are emitted to the atmosphere during oil and coal combustion. The sedimentary record of these particles has been analysed for six Scottish, two Norwegian and one Swedish lake. Concentration profiles in the sediments parallel fuel-consumption trends. There are also large differences in carbonaceous particulate concentrations indicating geographical differences in loading of air pollutants from fossil-fuel combustion.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
