Abstract: | Atmospheric concentration and total (wet plus dry) and dry deposition of210Pb and7Be have been measured at our laboratory in Ishikawa Prefecture in Japan which faced the Sea of Japan during 1993–1994. At
the same time inventories of excess210Pb in soil samples were measured from a mixed pine forest. On the basis of the data obtained, an attempt was made to evaluate
the dry deposition velocity as a result of the interception by the canopies of airborne210Pb in a pine stand The dry deposition velocity of210Pb in the pine stand was roughly estimated to be 0.9–0.8 cm/s, higher by a factor of about 10 than the value (mean: 0.12±0.09
cm/s; range: 0.06–0.28 cm/s) in the open area measured on the roof of our laboratory. |
