Depositions and transboundary fluxes
On the basis of emission and meteorological data for 2007 transboundary depositions were calculated. Maps of lead, cadmium and mercury deposition fluxes from national sources (Maps of deposition fluxes from), maps of contribution of external antropogenic sources to deposition to the country (Maps of contributions) and maps of total deposition fluxes to the country (Maps of deposition fluxes to) are presented in the table. Besides pie charts illustrating the deposition budget for principal regions-receptors (Depositions from) and contributions of main sources to deposition to the country (Depositions to) are given.
Comparison of the modelling results with measurements
No available measurement data.
Persistent Organic Pollutants
Emission data
National emission totals on PCDD/Fs, B[a]P, B[b]F, B[k]F, I_P, HCB for 2007 were used in calculations. PCB emission for 2007 based on expert estimates [Breivik et al., 2007].

Depositions and transboundary fluxes of PCDD/Fs and B[a]P
On the basis of emission and meteorological data for 2007 transboundary depositions of B[a]P and PCDD/Fs were calculated. Links to the maps of deposition fluxes from national sources (Deposition from the country), contributions of external antropogenic sources to deposition to the country (Contribution to depositions) and total depositions to the country (Depositions to the country) are presented in the table. Besides pie charts illustrate the deposition budget for principal regions-receptors (Depositions from the country) and contributions of main sources to deposition (Depositions to the country) to the country.
