Elemental analysis of aerosol from various sites in the northeastern United States has revealed a persistent northeastern \"foreground\" upon which pulses of midwestern aerosol are superimposed every few days, in response to large-scale meteorological features. Regional apportionment of tracer elements and sulfate in summer and winter samples from Narragansett, Rhode Island, and Underhill, Vermont, shows that most of the elements come predominantly from northeastern sources. Notable exceptions include arsenic and indium, for which Canadian nonferrous smelters are important sources, and sulfur and selenium, for which the Midwest is an important source. During 1982 and 1983, the Northeast and the Midwest contributed comparably to aerosol sulfate at Narragansett and Underhill, in spite of the fact that the emissions of sulfur dioxide in the Midwest were ten times those in the Northeast; Canadian smelters accounted for less than 10 percent of the total sulfate. During a major pollution episode in July 1982, northeastern and midwestern sources produced comparable sulfate concentrations in Rhode Island, whereas midwestern sources dominated northeastern sources in Vermont. Thus, although distant midwestern sources affect the quantity of pollution aerosol in the Northeast and may dominate episodically, nearer northeastern sources are comparably important on the long term.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1126\/science.228.4697.275","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,10,5]],"date-time":"2006-10-05T19:42:50Z","timestamp":1160077370000},"page":"275-284","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":113,"title":["Pollution Aerosol in the Northeast: Northeastern-Midwestern Contributions"],"prefix":"10.1126","volume":"228","author":[{"given":"Kenneth A.","family":"Rahn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Atmospheric Chemistry Studies, Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island, Narragansett 02882"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Douglas H.","family":"Lowenthal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Atmospheric Chemistry Studies, Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island, Narragansett 02882"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"221","reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Belsley D.
