Abstract
The aim of this paper was to calculate emission, air concentration and deposition of cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) for Poland with the Fine Resolution Atmospheric Multi-pollutant Exchange model (FRAME). Calculations of anthropogenic sources of heavy metals (HM) were based onPM10 emissionsand coefficients of activity and emission, dependent on SNAP sector and type of fuel. Natural emissions were estimated using PM10 wind blown dust from the Nat Air project and HM concentration in topsoil, taken from the Geochemical Atlas of Europe. Emission maps were used in the FRAME model, and annual average concentration and total deposition of individual HM were calculated at a 5 km × 5 km spatial resolution. It was found that the regions with the highest values of HM concentration and deposition were Upper Silesia (industrial region), as also legally protected areas of National Parks.
