This project provides for monitoring of atmospheric deposition of mercury, trace metals and major ions in the Pensacola Bay watershed. Work was initiated with funding by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2004 and completed in December 2007. This project addressed the question, what is the atmospheric deposition of mercury and trace metals such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, selenium, iron and aluminum and major ions to the lower Pensacola Bay Watershed. Since then sampling has continued with support from the Electric Power Research Institute.
