Abstract
To understand the behavior of metals in forest area, we collected atmospheric aerosol, fallout and river water samples in every two weeks from June of 2002 to December of 2004 in the Teshio Experimental Forest (45°03'N, 142°07'E a. s. 1.66m). And all samples were analyzed by ICP-MS for metals, such as Fe, Al, Ti, Ba, Sr, Mn, Zn, Pb.Atmospheric concentrations of Fe, A1, Pb, Mn and Sr in both aerosols and fallouts increased in winter. However, the atmospheric Zn and Ba in aerosols increased during winter, but in the fallouts.In the event of rainfall, Ba, Sr and Mn concentrations in river water, those were mainly plant origin, were decreasing with increasing in the flow. On the contrary, Al and Ti. concentrations in the water, those were mainly soil origin, were increasing in the same period. As for Fe, also soil origin was decreasing in the period. In thaw season, Fe, Ba and Sr concentrations decreased with increasing in flow, however, Al and Zn concentrations increased. In comparison the annual output from the river water with the annual input from the fallouts. As for Al, Fe, Sr and Ba, the output exceeded the input. As for Zn and Pb, the input exceeded the output. As for Mn and Ti, the input and the output were nearly equal.
