Reduction of heavy metal deposition (1990-
2012)
Joint EMEP/WGE meeting, Geneva, 2015
Summary
• Pollution levels of Pb, Cd and Hg in the EMEP region reduced by 80%, 55% and 25% during 1990-2012
• Substantial decrease for the same period was estimated for PCBs and HCB (80-90%), PCDDF (50%), whereas for PAHs it was insignificant (below 30%)
• Maximum reduction of HMs and POPs pollution took place in early 1990-s, in the second half of the period the reduction slowed or even changed to growth (PAHs and HCB)
• Decline of HM and POP levels in EECCA countries is generally smaller than that in EU
• Main factors controlling long-term changes of HM and POP pollution are anthropogenic and secondary emissions and intercontinental transport of long-living species (Hg, HCB, PCBs, PCDDFs)
Information on long-term trends of HMs and POPs have been
prepared for the CLRTAP Assessment 2016 and discussed at TFMM
(Krakow, May 2015) and Expert Group meeting (Moscow, August
2015)
